Easy Short Code Solution

We help you send the right message to the right audience

Our trusted messaging platform takes the stress out of texting with a short code — a 5-6 digit recognisable number for sending and receiving text and picture messages.

  • Solve your large-scale texting needs: promotional campaigns, automated messages, mass texts, and opt-in campaigns

  • Send high-quality, professional messages that engages your audience (average 98% open rate) 

  • Use built-in analytics to measure performance like read receipts, open rates, and interactions
