See which SimpleTexting features and services make it more valuable to business owners than alternative SMS platforms.
If SimpleTexting is among the text messaging platforms you’re considering, you’ll want to know what sets us apart from others.
I’ve spent dozens of hours (no exaggeration) researching the strengths and weaknesses of these platforms, what customers say about them, and how our platform compares.
There are eight stand-out features and services we provide that put our customers at an advantage, and I’ll share them with you here.
What makes SimpleTexting’s SMS platform better than the alternatives?

SimpleTexting’s one of few SMS companies that has no limits on SMS keywords and contacts.
Because keywords are unlimited, some customers create them for various events and scenarios:
Invite as many people as you’d like to join your texting program, and import contacts who have given you their express written consent to receive promotional text messages.
Thanks to the self-service billing portal in your SimpleTexting dashboard, you can increase or decrease your messaging credit subscription at any time.
Unlike many alternative text messaging platforms, SimpleTexting offers rollover credits—unused monthly credits that “rollover” to the next month (for one month only).
Many text messaging platforms don’t offer self-service billing and rollover credits. I can think of one in particular that doesn’t let you downgrade your plan or rollover credits at all.
Even if you know what you want your text to say, it takes time to craft the right message.
To combat text message writer’s block, we built AI Assist — a ChatGPT-powered message generator — to help you.
All you have to do is tell AI Assist what kind of message you want to write and what important details to include. Then, it’ll give you a list of suggested texts to choose from, and you can customize them to fit your brand voice.
Text message marketing is effective, and spammers take advantage of its 98% average open rates.
Wireless carriers and regulatory organizations fight against SMS spam with compliance policies, which everyone who sends promotional texts needs to follow.
For instance, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and CTIA organization require you to:
Because of this, we send free automated compliance texts on your behalf. This means that when a new contact receives a message from you for the first time, they’ll also receive a second message with CTIA disclosures (which you can customize in your account settings).
Why is this important? We’re the only SMS marketing company to allow you to send your separate standalone compliance text free of charge. Others try to squeeze it into your message, cutting away at your character count.

As a business owner, you’re not just communicating with customers and prospects during the work week. You need assurance that someone will be available to help you when you have a question about an SMS campaign on Saturday or can’t find a particular tool in the app on Sunday.
Every day of the week, our customer support team (actual humans 💁) are here to answer questions and guide you through specific features.
