Welcome,
Since 2001, SMS Expert has provided SMS marketing, communications and technology solutions to thousands of businesses, digital and marketing agencies, software developers, Saas providers, reseller & referral partners and other organisations.
With one of the SMS industry's first self-service cloud portals and developer API's to send & receive SMS, the business has excelled in building long-lasting relationships with many great clients. Between them they have sent 1,993,352,704 SMS to date.
More recently the focus has shifted from just being a self-service platform and API, to also providing SMS related consultancy, hand-held support, industry advice and bespoke software development.
As the founder and director, I am an experienced developer and SMS & technology consultant. I offer my expertise to businesses to help them achieve amazing things with SMS. Behind me are a small team of professionals who help maintain our powerful SMS delivery platform and keep client SMS flowing.
Whilst a number of SMS providers take pride in supporting tens or hundreds of thousands of businesses, many just aim to be the cheapest and a lot do so with very little support or by only providing a raw API with no added value or regular human contact. SMS has become a commodity for many providers.
Our experience with businesses, agencies, developers & Saas providers over the past 23 years is that the majority look for a lot more than just cheap SMS delivery with faceless ticket-based support. SMS Expert currently works with just 250+ active clients and I have personally spoken to 95% of them in the past 2 months.
Our clients continue to send many millions of SMS every month. The longest serving clients have trusted us with their business SMS for over 20 years.
We look forward to helping you (or your clients) with 2-way SMS delivery, SMS marketing campaigns, text communications strategy, SMS-based software solutions, API integration and more.
Lets achieve amazing things for your business with 2-way SMS.
regards
