Bulk SMS marketing goes by many names. Bulk SMS, mass texting, text marketing—to name a few. No matter the name, the benefits remain the same.
It is one of the fastest, most efficient ways to reach your audience. Nearly everyone has a cellphone, which makes communicating with brands via text the new normal.

We can’t speak for our competitors, but at SimpleTexting we believe businesses of all sizes should be able to benefit from SMS. All of our plans come with unlimited contacts, unlimited keyword, and unlimited support.
