Online SMS

Welcome to Interaqtiv’s Online SMS service.

Texting has become a wonderfully popular medium for people of all ages to communicate easily and cost effectively with each other. Communicating from one mobile phone to another is quick and easy for those who are adept at using fiddly small buttons on their phones, and when one person is communicating with one other. However, when you want to communicate with many or would like the ease of using your computer’s keyboard instead of your mobile phone keypad, then you need interaqtiv’s Online SMS service.

Our service makes it very easy and cost effective to communicate by text in the following circumstances:

• Texting many people at the same time – no need to send each text separately.
• Texting people on a time delayed basis – you determine when it is sent using the integrated calendar.
• Texting using your computer’s keyboard – much easier than using a mobile phone keypad.
• Bulk texts can be bought very cost effectively.

The benefits of Interaqtiv’s Online SMS service include:

• It’s easier
• It saves you time
• You can do the texting when it’s convenient for you and not when you want the text to be sent.

Applications

Some applications might include:

• Minimising “no shows”
  
  One of the largest costs to business such as dentists or hairdressers, businesses who have people making appointments for a service in the future, is people not turning up - or “no shows”. By using our Online SMS service you can schedule in advance for your customers to receive a text, perhaps on the day of, or the day before their appointment to remind them that they are booked in to have their hair cut. As long as you have internet access you can do this whenever it is convenient for you. For instance, you might find that doing the scheduling is best done outside of appointment hours such as in the evening. For the cost of a text you could save a wasted appointment which would cost significantly more in lost revenue.
  
  
• Project Management Communication
   
  Text is becoming ever more important for project managers managing the details of projects. By using our Online SMS service you can save time and effort by writing and scheduling text communication from the comfort of your own computer. Furthermore, if you also use interaqtiv’s Text to Email service you can also have the replies delivered to your computer.
  
  
• Simply texting
  
  The costs of a text sent using Interaqtiv’s Online SMS service are competitive with texts sent from a mobile phone. This means that you may simply like to send texts using your computer.

How it Works

It’s very easy.

Once you have registered and created an account (which is free), you can purchase text credits using PayPal’s payment system which are added instantly to your account. You can then send as many texts as you have available in your pre-paid account and you can add credits to your account at any time. The text creation wizard will guide you through the very easy and intuitive process to send texts. You will be able to add numbers to your online ‘address book’ either one by one or by uploading a list from a standard database such as Excel.

You can choose:

• who to send the text to
• when to send it (which you cannot do from a mobile phone)
• and say who it is from.

Easy.
