Description

160 offers a cloud-based SMS messaging solution designed for businesses aiming to connect with customers, employees, or members effectively. Users can create messages via a web browser, easily upload or paste contact lists, categorize recipients into groups, customize messages using contact information, schedule message deliveries, and access delivery analytics. The platform is equipped for handling bulk messaging campaigns and supports two-way communication, allowing users to view replies directly within their account or have them forwarded to their email or mobile device. Additionally, messages can be sent through various methods, including email, a REST API complete with delivery webhooks, as well as integrations with Zapier, WordPress, and WooCommerce. This service is beneficial for sending appointment reminders, alerts, notifications, marketing communications, and verification codes. The billing model operates on a prepaid SMS credit system, eliminating monthly fees or contracts, and new users are provided with trial credits upon account creation. For added convenience, the Yabb mobile application can be linked to 160 accounts, enabling users to send texts and manage responses seamlessly from their smartphones. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for businesses of all sizes.
