WHAT IS SMS CHAT?

A quick, easy way to send and reply to text messages and have two-way conversations, without ever exposing a personal mobile number.

SMS alerts and reminders are great, but conversations are even better. Conversational tools are the key to customer satisfaction, repurchase and retention, and SMS remains the most reliable and accepted way to reach people. SMS Chat takes it one step further by letting you manage those conversations efficiently.

Conversations appear as they would on your phone, with threads grouped by recipient and every message shown in order. SMS Chat is real-time, so inbound messages pop up in the thread the moment they arrive and you can keep the conversation going. You're notified of new messages in-app, and can turn on optional email alerts too.

Search by contact or number to pick up a thread, or start a new chat instantly. Save a recipient as a contact straight from the chat screen, and use dynamic Sender ID selection and pre-saved SMS templates to standardise your messages and save time.

HOW IT WORKS

Up and chatting in three steps

1

Pick your number

Send from your registered sender ID, or add a dedicated virtual number so customers can text you back.

2

Send & get replies

Compose with templates and dynamic Sender ID. Replies land straight in your shared SMS Chat inbox.

3

Reply as a team

Everyone sees the same threaded conversations and can jump in, so nothing slips through the cracks.
