Everything you need to know before you get started.
Two-way text messaging is the capability to receive and respond to inbound text messages, having authentic, interactive 1-on-1 text conversations with your contacts.
One-way SMS (also known as bulk or mass texting) is a broadcast method used to send a single SMS communication from an organization out to a large group of recipients simultaneously without expecting direct back-and-forth dialogue.
You can view and manage all inbound text messages directly within your platform's web inbox. Additionally, you can configure settings to automatically forward incoming replies to your designated business email address or mobile phone.
Receiving incoming messages is completely free. Outbound responses are billed according to standard credit plans (typically 1 credit for standard SMS and 3 credits for MMS picture messages).
