SMS Messaging for Businesses

Thanks to two British engineers, Neil Papworth and Richard Jarvis the World has forever been transformed from voice communications to being able simply to write each other via text messaging.  Fast forward 25 years, and the world of business communications.

In honor of the 25 years of SMS messaging, we’ve overhauled our text for business service on the MyFluentCloud Web Portal to make this feature more user-friendly. In addition to a significant improvement and a visual facelift, it also received some significant feature enhancements to improve the overall functionality as well.

Although texting is a mainstream way of life, and businesses are a growth in usage of this, it’s still largely underutilized. Since we’re in the business of communication.

Should Your Be Using SMS for your business?

Yes. Yes, you should. The reason is simple. SMS messages are instantly read by recipients within 5 seconds of getting them. As a business, you could take advantage of SMS messaging to send out alerts or sales information to your customers and prospects. It’s easy to use and more importantly, it’s far more likely to be read by your clients.

When is the last time you got a text message? Did you read it right away or did you ignore it like the many emails you get every day? You probably read it as soon as you got it, even if you didn’t open up your messaging app.

That’s the kind of potential our newly updated SMS Messaging service has.

SMS Messaging on Mobile

Now, this may seem like a no-brainer. Of course, texting happens on the phone. Well, it’s not quite that simple. For those of you on the go, SMS messaging is also available in the FluentCloud Mobile application that’s available on both Android and Apple smartphones AND SMS in the mobile app lets you send messages from your smartphone but using your FluentCloud phone number. This helps keep business messages separate from your normal, personal text messages.

Go ahead. Try it out. We know you’ll like it.
