What is a text message?

An Australian wholesale SMS service provider, Cellcast relies on local carriers to provide high-quality service and performance. The bulk SMS packages for one-time campaigns or segmented customer accounts for self-service SMS Blasts are available to all of our channel partners, and we welcome resellers.

In the early days of mobile telegraphy, people could transmit brief messages via pagers, which evolved into SMS in the late 1990s. The transmission of electrical messages through radio waves is referred to as “wireless telegraphy.” Modern mobile phone communications, such as SMS, were made possible thanks to radio pagers.

To facilitate mobile SMS communication, a system of standardised radio frequency communications was put in place. In the Global System for Mobile Communications, these protocols were established (GSM). SMS was limited to 160 characters due to these protocols.

Text Message Service

A GSM mobile phone and a cell network subscription are needed to send and receive SMS messages. Network providers set the prices for sending an SMS, and charges are dependent on the quantity of messages sent rather than the size of the message. Text message charges are taken from your account’s available credit. Please contact a member of our customer excellence team to set up a post-pay account.

According to a recent report, bulk text messaging and its corresponding mobile campaigns have surged 88% since 2016. This is most likely owing to the rising noise we are bombarded with via an overcrowded email/social media landscape.

As a marketing tool, it’s great

SMS is a great marketing tool because of its many capabilities. It is, in fact, one of the most popular marketing platforms. A large percentage of those who get text messages open them. In contrast to emails, SMS messages are virtually always opened and read by the receiver. Text messaging’s intimate character lends itself perfectly to promotional purposes. SMS is a more effective method of promoting a company endeavour than email or other forms of marketing. Text messaging’s brief and precise nature compels the sender to be succinct. The organisation’s long-term success is aided by this judicious use of language. Sending SMS is a low-cost method of communicating with a specific group of customers. There are just a few of firms in Australia that understand how to take advantage of the mobile market in such a way as to provide an incomparable competitive advantage.

Mobile marketing is a no-brainer because of the guaranteed delivery and the ability to see SMS messages in real time.
