Mass texting has revolved our practice to the next level ,we are so much grateful for this great product in market at nominal rate. People should give it a try.

Pros

In our clinical practice, we prefer to remain in touch with our existing clients for thier scheduled checkups,moreover, we share payment reminders too via using mass texting. This software has fulfilled all our expectations till date. The keywords and shortcuts has reduced our precious time. We are overwhelmed by simplest UI.

Cons

Character limitations are the biggest challenge for us and sometimes integration with the third party applications causes minor troubles too. Otherwise, its good to go with this cool software.

Pros

Very easy to use. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] is awesome and is always willing to help regardless of the time. He consistently checks in as well.

Cons

What I dislike most is going to be the the entering lists in CSV and then no communication on if the list went through properly. I also think using it for 3 clubs that it should be more of a drop down to navigate opposed to logging out then logging back in and going into the sub account all over again.

Customer service has always been very good. They try hard to work through any issues and get them resolved as fast as possible. Unfortunately, this service doesn't offer all of the bonus features that other companies do. Some at a less cost.

Pros

The dashboard is easy to read and navigate. Very well laid out website format.

Cons

Not all texts go through, limited texting characters allowed, not able to add graphics or pictures. This texting service seems a little limited compared to some other companies.

Reasons for choosing Smart Automated Messaging

SAM was the first and only product I researched at the time. However, since I've been a customer, I've started looking over other alternatives.

This is a great way to blast out reminders of upcoming events, specials or sales to a particular subset or even all of your prospects/members/clients/customers.

Pros

I like that this allows us to text blast to any one of our groups in a fairly short amount of time and fairly easily. Customer support has been very responsive and thorough.

Cons

I do not like the limitations on the length of the texts and find some of he process a bit cumbersome.

It has helped us reach our members with important announcements in a most efficient way.

Pros

The fact that we can reach so many of our members with important messages.

Cons

It is a bit hard to use, but tech support is awesome in assisting with anything. Trying to text to one group of members is especially difficult, but tech support helped me set it up.
