Web Interface Features

• Phonebook
  

  Using our phonebook you can set up a database of names and mobile phone numbers to access and edit online. The database resides behind a highly secure firewall. The online phonebook can be used to arrange contacts into groups. Groups ensure that only targeted users receive messages. Existing databases(e.g.in Excel) of mobile phone numbers and personalized messages can be uploaded to the groups created on your BulkSMS.com account.

• Message History
  

  Use your Message History to find out to whom, when and how many messages you have sent and what their current status is. You can also view what messages you have scheduled to send later.

• Message Routing via multiple gateways
  

  BulkSMS utilises the best messaging routes for your market, offering high reliability, high capacity and cost effectiveness. This involves providing 3 cost/functionality routes which can be selected by users. Read more

• Commerce Centre
  

  You are able to purchase credits online as well as display the history of credits that you have purchased and used.

• Scheduling
  

  Have you ever needed to send an SMS to an individual or group from your BulkSMS account at a particular time, but knew that you would not have access to a PC or the Internet at that time? Your only option was to send the SMS out earlier or later than you had wanted to. No longer! With scheduled messaging you can set messages to go out from minutes into the future to days, to weeks and even years into the future. Goto 'Update Your Profile' to enable this feature.

• Multiple messages from file upload
  

  This feature allows you to send an individual message to multiple people via a text file upload. Prior to sending you will need to create a Text (Tab delimited) File that contains each cellular number and the unique message.

• Low Credit Notification
  

  Avoid running out of credits! Set your Low Credit Level on your user profile and receive email alerts when your credits drop below this level. This feature is particularly useful for clients who use the http, ftp, and email to SMS interfaces. For more information, log into your account and click on 'Update Your Profile'.

• Inbox/Folders
  

  View and download the replies you receive to an SMS.

• Manage Invoices
  

  Manage invoices that have been issued to you. This feature allows you to view and print invoices for credit card purchases you have made. For step by step help read Invoices.

• Failed Number Purge
  

  Cleaning up your phone book just got easier. Use Failed Number Purge to better maintain your phonebook groups. This allows you to purge numbers based on a chosen number of consecutive SMS delivery failures. To keep your phonebook up to date read Failed Number Purge.

• Controllable sender Id
  

  You can set who the SMS is from, to either a cell number or up to 11 alphanumeric characters (e.g. MyCompany). This feature is available on most routes.

• SMS Merge
  

  Personalize your message when sending SMS messages to groups. While composing an SMS message to send to a group, all you have to do is click a button for First Name and/or Surname and when you send your message the BulkSMS system will automatically place the required information from your Online Phonebook into the message. It is that easy, and it will give your messages more credibility. Try it out on the 'Send Messages to a Group' page.

• Sponsor Credit Usage
  

  Sponsor the credit usage on other Bulksms accounts from your own Bulksms account. An example of where this is useful is if you have a business in which you have several people who have Bulksms accounts, but you want to manage the purchasing and usage of credits from one central Bulksms account. This feature is called the Sponsor-Consumer feature as the central account sponsors the consumption of credits on sub-accounts. Read more.
