    Bulk SMS is used in critical comms use-cases

    Date: May 23 2023

    Summary: Overall experience is nine out of ten. The tool is very useful and is used extensively to enable the designed comms strategy for multiple clients/ use-cases.

    Positive: Bulk SMS enables speedy comms of messages. The ability to personalize messages are critical and this really helps us to makes messages personal and deliver it on time.

    Negative: At times the downstream delivery of SMS are delayed. The SMS delivery report does show failure status, but the "why" is not always clear. It's not always clear in the ZA context whether the failure is at Cellular Service Provider level or due to Cellular tower failure due to electricity blackouts.

    Stable, trustworthy very long-standing provider I'm sticking with

    Date: May 23 2023

    Summary: Generally good, have got to know the platform over time, and am well-established using it now after some years.

    Positive: They have a basic set of web-based functions which are useful to me, and a decent-looking API which I am confident about exploring one day. The systems have been predictable and stable in ways that matter to me for many years.

    Negative: I think there might be some cheaper alternatives, but as long as I'm sending hundreds of texts and not millions, I would rather the stability of a known and trusted platform for (maybe) the sake of fractions of a penny.

    Very slow implementation, very scarce communcation

    Date: Jun 07 2023

    Summary: The impression that BulkSMS is very well established in the southern African countries (where we work and need sound aggregation services) and therefore can establish the necessary services quickly and reasonably priced, was obviously wrong. It is just a hope a the moment, that after many months of waiting the basic service proposal will be stablished in the near future and will work smoothly.

    Positive: The promises in the proposal of what BulkSMS will be able to do sounded very good at the beginning (last year).

    Negative: Implementation is still pending after many months of patience.
