You will need a webtext.com account to use the service.
Use our APIs ( Application Programme Interfaces – email2SMS, http(s) or SMPP ) to SMS enable your business applications to send information to your customers and employees as it becomes available.
Customers - Sending information to customers by SMS text message as it becomes available will revolutionise your business communications by keeping customers informed. This will reduce the number of inbound customer calls, which will not only save money but also improve the customer experience by reducing customer stress.
Employees – Sending information to employees by SMS text message will keep them informed of business and customer activities as they happen. Supplying information in real-time to employees will make your business more efficient and co-ordinated.
Some of the Business Applications our system will work with include:-
If you have a business application and want to enable it to send SMS text messages please contact us to today and we will help get you up and running.
The fastest way of sending SMS text messages to groups of people is to text from a computer , this is because your phone can only send about 10 messages per minute, however when you send SMS from a computer you can sent between 10 to 50 messages per second or 600 to 3000 messages per minute.
.
This is only possible because sending SMS texts from a computer is server to server and is designed for speed. Our online SMS service allows you to send messages to groups of people quickly but also to get replies and many many other features. So if you are a business or organization looking to exploit the time saving and cost savings of SMS text messaging we recommend you start with our online SMS service to begin with.

How can people I contact automatically opt-out or remove themselves?
This is a question we get asked a lot. The simple answer is that if you send a 2-way message and the person replies STOP then they will be automatically removed from your account. If you try and add this contact number again by uploading a spreadsheet or csv file then our system we prevent this contact number from being uploaded. This is done to prevent you uploading the person in error. To upload them again you will need to add them manually as a single contact.
If you want to remove a person manually but block or “blacklist” them from getting a message from your account again. Then just delete the contact but tick the option “Add to blacklist”.
From today ANY school or non-profit group that uses our sms service will receive our service “at cost”. We have already marked many of the schools and non-profit groups at these low rates.
The reason we are doing this, is quite simple, it is good for business. As it spreads word of our service and unique features very quickly.
If you are a non-profit group and are not getting these “at cost” discount rates then let us know and we will change the pricing on your account.
Example “at cost” discount rates for schools & non-profit groups in the UK & Ireland.
So if you are a school or non-profit group let us know and we will give you these incredible rates.
note: All prices are excluding V.A.T. and these rates are not available to businesses.
It was not by accident webtext.com was invited to address the Business Continuity Institute forum in Dublin, Ireland last week, we were invited:-). The Business Continuity Institute is a British based organization focused on keeping businesses going when things for wrong.
It was interesting to meet with people from various companies who work each day in the hope that their work, expertise and planning is never used. We made the point the while a business may never have a problem continuing because of a major incident, it will have challenges continuing unless it adapts and differentiates itself from it’s competitors.
SMS text messaging can help a business “continue” by providing information to customers as it comes available in real-time and changing the way a business interacts with it’s customers. In do so it will change the way customers feel about a company. Picking a business-focused online SMS service so not be an accident

Following feedback from customers and potential customers we have put together a new look website. We did this for 4 reasons.
The website is designed to load very fast. We have also added an extra server for UK customers to increase their access speed. Most of the changes in recent months have been to the inside of our service, this time most of the changes are on the public part of our website. We have also introduced a new logo.
.
We have laid out our SMS gateway or server SMS API information in it’s own website in addition to the downloadable PDF. This is to aid programmers and developers. The heart of our service has always been easy of use, our online SMS tool will get it’s own makeover in the coming months.
.
We also intend in the coming months to launch both German and Spanish language websites to complement our English language service.
.
We hope you like the new look and feel, increased speed and security. If you have a new feature or layout request be sure to let us know.
