Registering on DLT is mandatory for everyone that wants to send SMS, promotional or transactional and only entities with DLT-registered headers (sender names) will be able to send SMS. Please register on any of the DLT platforms immediately to avoid any disruption in your traffic.

There is no set time of how long it takes to send bulk SMS messages, you set the sending activity to send immediately or schedule it to be sent at a later point in time.

A keyword is a requirement when using any kind of shared number. The message must start with the keyword so the Textlocal system can direct the message to relevant person’s inbox. Try and keep your keyword as simple as possible to avoid mistakes.

API stands for Application Programming Interface. In essence, an API allows for easy communication between two pieces of software; acting as a translator or go-between. In the context of text marketing, an API translates the information that you enter into a text marketing programme into a format appropriate for sending over a mobile phone network, or vice versa.

Your SMS marketing campaigns can be up and running within minutes.

Bulk SMS messaging works in exactly the same way as sending a text message online (as detailed in the previous entry), except on a larger scale. Rather than sending a message to one recipient, you would send your SMS message to a group of recipients utilising the functionality of a bulk SMS service, like our proprietary Textlocal Messenger service.

Our system is extremely easy to use. Once you have amassed a list of customer phone numbers, they are uploaded to your Textlocal Messenger account. The next step is to obtain consent, from the owners of those numbers, to receive additional communications from your business. Once customers have begun to opt in to receive messages, and you have purchased a message bundle from us, simply login to your Textlocal Messenger account, enter a message, and select the individual customers, or customer groups that you want to receive the message. Click send, and you’re done!

Using our award winning Messenger 3.0 Platform sending messages is a breeze, however if you would like help managing or sending your bulk SMS campaigns, then please consider using our Agency Services or contact our friendly support team for help.
