Text Messaging

The first step in choosing a text messaging vendor is eliminating any company that only offers SMTP email based texting (see why here). Once you have done that you can move on to choosing a provider based on the types of features a particular company offers and whether or not their service will work for what you want to do. Obviously, you’ll also need to pick a company that offers services to the geographic location you serve.
