The mobile messaging service that we offer here at Textlocal is an excellent fit for public service operations; offering an easy, effective way to send important messages to large groups of recipients.
Our text messaging service makes it extremely easy to contact customer or members of the public with enticing new deals and offers; easily segmenting recipients into relevant demographic groups, to ensure that each deal reaches the most receptive audience.
Alternatively, our international and UK bulk text messaging service also allows for clients to be effectively informed of service outages, maintenance work, and provide overdue payment warnings; keeping customers clearly informed, and minimising frustration.
