What is web SMS? Web SMS allows you to create and send your message from the internet instead of typing messages using the keypad on your mobile phone.

What are the benefits of web SMS? SMS Broadcast's message centre allows you to type your messages, set the time that the messages are sent, and set your business name or contact phone number as the return address.

Why is it cheaper than from my mobile phone? SMS Broadcast purchases bulk SMS from a wholesaler and we generally sell to businesses. This makes it easy for us to provide you with a cheap SMS alternative to the large Australian telcos, who mostly sell to consumers.
What are the benefits? Aside from offering cheap SMS messages, there are no restrictions on the reply-to or origin number in the message. This means that messages will appear as though they have come from your own mobile number. You can also provide a 12 digit alpha-numeric name, such as your business name.
Are there any limitations? Many online SMS companies have problems with timestamps, as the messages go through an international server. SMS Broadcast does not have this problem - your messages will be timestamped according to where the receiving mobile phone is Australia. This is set by the actual mobile carrier, not SMS Broadcast.
Will you use mine or my customers' details for advertising or SPAM? Absolutely not. SMS Broadcast always maintains professional business relationships. We won't use your's or your customer's details to advertise or SPAM, nor will we sell your contact details to other marketing companies.
