Mobile Text Alerts

Pros

What I found nice was the integrations. They have options such as Salesforce, Facebook, Constant Contact and many more. Another good thing is live support chat feature in case if you experience any trouble during the integration process. We built a nice landing page with the goal of building a subscriber’s list. We can now set up a welcome message to send out to our subscribers.

Cons

I wish they had a file attachment built inside the platform.

Pros

I love that we can have multiple groups with different members. People can be in one or many groups. We can message some or all and its super easy.

Cons

When member reply it only goes to one administrator. We have a nursing admin team of 5 and it would be great if all 5 could get the reply's that the members send.

Reasons for Switching to Mobile Text Alerts

Pros

I liked the Dashboard the most with Mobile Text Alerts. It offers a birds eye view of many topics in one space. You can quickly view Engagement, Newsfeed, Used Message Credits, Subscribers, Messaging Speeds, and Recent Messages.

Cons

I did not like the pricing for the software or the user interface for the messenger component, which is the main reason I subscribed to this tool. Also, the subscribers feature is confusing and very time consuming to add users/numbers to the software. My assistant spent a lot of time trying to get it set up the way we needed it to be.

Reasons for Switching to Mobile Text Alerts

Pros

The biggest advantage of using Mobile text Alerts is the ability to create text that will sent to multiple guest staying at our hotel at once. This allows us to sent alerts such as breakfast schedules, dinner times, and group event schedules.

Cons

The Mobile Text Alerts do not always send to our guest, especially if they have a poor connection. A lot of the messages we send at times may appear on phones as an attempt to send spam or junk text.

Pros

Mobile Text Alerts has better messaging solution, and the delivery is done on time.

Cons

Mobile Text Alerts has included all communications solutions, and no performance defect.

Pros

Simple and quick SMS text alerts to customers in just a few clicks with Mobile Text Alerts

Cons

SMS has never failed or bounced back ever since deployment

Pros

Mobile text alerts have been great for our sales and marketing team to keep in touch with potential buyers.

Cons

There is literally nothing to dislike about this. It's easy, you just type and go.

Pros

The best feature is the new text to speech. The customer service is insane. They will respond even on Sundays. Wow!

Cons

They down side is the reduction in MMS characters from 1500 to 660.. it's taking me twice as long to construct a messages because I have to cut it short. Errrg

Pros

Value, ease of use, and the features that make it perfect for a direct network sales business.

Cons

I really don't have any complaints. I think it does what it is intended to do very effectively and efficiently.

Pros

It's easy to use and it's extremely helpful for our staff. I think this was one of the BEST investments we have made.

Cons

The software if wonderful, if there would be one thing I would change it is how to verify who I am sending the text too if I am sending multiple texts. I have to go back and uncheck a checked name to be sure they are not getting the next text. If there was a little box to the side with the names that I could uncheck or a clear button for the names only (not the text). Other than that...it's WONDERFUL!!!

Pros

Affordable and functional! I love that its easy to use and low cost.

Cons

It'd be great to see more features integrated into it -- video messaging would be great!

Pros

Its easy to use and we like that we can add subscribers ourself- our customers like that we can add them on their behalf

Cons

Seems like many of our customers get unsubscribed without wanting to me

Pros

The user interface is super functional and easy to use and is actually also enjoyable to view.

Cons

I wish I could quick add 5-20 contacts at once rather than only being able to add one at at time or uploading a file. It is just a preference and a relatively small one at that.

Pros

The software is easy to use. It's easy to navigate and very simple to use.

Cons

I have not found anything yet that frustrates me or that I don't like.

Pros

The most I like about this software is everything from customer support to the ease of use and that is is not expensive. Also that I can use it everyday and that there are no limited amount of messages of things I can send out. It is very useful for my church and I.

Cons

Nothing everything is great. The software itself I haven't seen anyone else be this advanced.

Pros

The integration and simplicity of it all.

Cons

When sending a picture message it costs me more of my allotment to send out the same message but will an image.

Pros

Easy to understand what things you need to get the text alerts

Cons

Something a little confusing understanding some of the comands

Pros

Ease of use! Both on the mobile web browser

Cons

I cannot think of one really. The service and support has been very helpful.

Pros

that it reaches all my customers that sign up

Cons

sometimes a customer will tell me they did not receive their alert but I think it is on their end

Pros

Being able to schedule mobile text message events.

Cons

Little issues but always fixable on fixing the issues.

Pros

Ease of use, deliverability. Very easy to send texts out.

Cons

There's not much to say here, great product.

Pros

I like that it is easy to send messages. Uploading the contact database is very simple and allows you to include opt-in forms on my website. Additionally, I can program the messages for the future.

Cons

What I do not like is that the price is not based on the number of messages I send, but on the number of subscribers on my list. I send few messages but my list of contacts is large so this service does not adapt to my needs.

Pros

The cost allows us to grow and not be cramped by texting limits. We can add elements or take them away. No one has a system like that.

Cons

It took me too long to find out about it. I wasted time in trying out others. I was surprised that the texts were simple text,

Pros

I like most about mobile text alerts is, it’s user friendly.

Cons

I don’t like when I send a text it sends in multiple text. I’d like only in ONE text.

Pros

Easy SMS tool that is great for teams that have not used SMS yet, but do have a marketing strategy.

Cons

Does not have a lot of integration options. If you do not use the most expensive marketing tools, it might not integrate.

Pros

Their marketing is pretty good and promising, but actual product falls short.

Cons

The product is in its infant stages and needs a ton of work. The backend(s) dont match. They use two different interfaces which is unprofessional. The system crashes and locks you out when trying to use it. Documentation is NOT updated to match the current control panel. Sign-up message modifications don't seem to take and different outputs depend on whether someone signs up via QR code or signup form. Campaign consistency matters.

Pros

Mobile Text Alerts gives easy access to adding short links, surveys, images, names of subscribers, and more right in the app interface. it's super easy to organize members into groups and even purchase a temporary keyword for a shortcode text in for events and more.
The guys and ladies at support are always fast to respond to any questions and are super helpful. Every issue I've had has not only been solved but steps were taken by their team to make CERTAIN we were satisfied with the resolutions and solutions.

Cons

I'd say the only qualm I have is that text in users aren't able to add their names. That's not an issue for everyone but we send out morning messages (AMTEXT) and sometimes personalize those. The web page sign up works much better for having the customer fill in their information and we import spreadsheets full of user data regularly and that rocks... so meh!

Pros

The program is fairly easy to use. It does have a slight learning curve for the Senior community but they do have awesome tutorials which makes it much easier to learn and implement.

Cons

There is not much I don't like. I seem to have an easier time of getting subscribers as compared to other like alert software, but sometimes I need more and am not sure how to do certain things. Help is always available quickly and are very knowledgeable and don't make me feel like I should have known that particular issue.

Pros

The Best SMS Marketing Tools for Generating More Leads Lead age with SMS showcasing is tied in with turning your contacts, individuals who have effectively communicated some restricted revenue in your item, into individuals eager to purchase from you.

Cons

You offer real benefit for the client and make them mindful of that using text informing. A dribble crusade is a progression of messages sent throughout some undefined time frame to individuals from your SMS list at times, a trickle crusade will be the most ideal approach to produce new leads utilizing SMS marketing. The issue isn't the arrangement; the arrangement is basic. It's executing on the arrangement that is hard: How would you make an incentive for your clients? That is an inquiry each business needs to respond to in due order regarding themselves dependent on their very own exhaustive comprehension item, their best clients, and the specific issues they tackle for their clients.

Accepting you know the entirety of that, passing on that data employing SMS showcasing should be possible in a couple of various ways.

Pros

- Reliable,
- Affordable.
- Very friendly and helpful staff...
- ...in the last 13 mounts there was only 2 small glitch and they were corrected less then 8 hours.

Cons

- Need upgrade to provide the general double opt-in rule. (by-law requirement in many country!)
- Need upgrade to send an email to me (admin) if someone opt-in and/or opt-out from my service (by law requirement to keep in record them!)
- Very nice to let me send email and SMS campaign together, however the email should be free up to a certain amount of email, but definitely not charging by counting of characters . (Your competitors providing 10-18 000 free emails /m)
- Please figure out the Time-zone sensitive sending. Similar than the timezone-wrap in Mailchimp. BUT, if i can suggest: forget it the subscribers time zone selection by their IP address location. This is a dead end! There is a lot of issue with that. However if you let me (admin) set up a "time zone delay-number" at every subscriber record and this number can a variable at the "scheduled sending", that would be a really professional solution.

Pros

I really like that I have very quick access to text messaging abilities to get the word out to multiple people at one time.

Cons

It was time consuming to set up since I am not the most tech savvy person

Pros

Extremely easy to use. I have now used Mobile-Text-Alerts with 2 different very large scale jobs. The product is easy for our less technical HR users who send communications to employees for weather events, meetings, or other safety or emergency events. The product was particularly effective during Hurricane Harvey when communications in the area were very disjointed. Mobile Text Alerts is something that more and more of our jobs are using.

Cons

Nothing. The product does its job and is very easy to use. I don't need anything else from it.

Pros

Hassle free reminders, no pressure tactic, convenient

Cons

N/a ease of use as a consumer is good and can always opt out if no longer applicable

Pros

I love using Mobile Text Alerts to send texts to my customers. It is very easy to set up and get customer subscribed. Once they are subscribed, the ease of creating a text is amazing! The tools that mobile text alerts have for LuLaRoe retailers is great. The live assistant works well to keep up with solds while live. Using the bless registration link through them is They also have loyalty rewards, giveaways and so much more. The app makes it super easy to send a text on the go. Roll over texts is one of the best parts!!

Cons

The only thing I don't like is that the price was a little high unless you pay for year in advance and then it becomes a better price. But roll over texts helps me be okay with price!!

Pros

Very intuitive to use. Storage of phone numbers very handy. Ability to send at future date is very valuable, so we send reminders of evening activities at 4:30, when kids are out of classrooms.

Cons

Things I'd like to see in the future -
Ability to send the same text 2 or 3 days in a row. Or send it on the same day every week for a few weeks, etc.
A few more columns for categories of members, ie; boys, girls, parents, juniors, seniors, etc, so we could just click girls and parents to send a message about a sleep over, etc

Pros

I love how easy it is for people to opt in and how fast I can send a text alert out.

Cons

I can't really think of anything specific.

Pros

Easy to use, i like the group feature where you can send to all or just groups of subscribers.

Cons

I always forget how to add a subscriber to a group.

Pros

I like the fact that you can reach so many people at one time. Because the fact is that 9 times out of 10 people will check they text messages before they read an email. Also, I love the fact that any unused messages just roll over into the next month.

Cons

I just wish I could type more in my message before it runs over into the next page.

Pros

The ease of using it to send mass texts to all my customers. I was able to send texts quickly and easily anytime of day! Usually 30 minutes before a live sale on Facebook was a Great time to send out a text to remind my customers to log on to tell them to stop by and shop in my live sales! I also loved getting messages from others through the service because it truly works!

Cons

Nothing really I didn’t have any problems, I remember I had some questions and I emailed them and they reaponded quickly!

Pros

Easy to use
Free trial let's you truly test drive the product

Cons

messages can't be too long or they will count as 2 messages

Pros

That it’s integrated with the LuLaRoe BLESS System. I also like how we now have a registration link that automatically signs them up for alerts

Cons

The link doesn’t always work in the text alert and sometimes my text either doesn’t go out or goes out twice

Pros

Ease of use. It took only one attempt to feel comfortable with the process.

Cons

I don't like the fact that a one text event can be considered multiple texts based on the number of characters. The primary goal is to get information the the subscriber and forcing the sender to be concerned by the character count can impact the effectiveness of the message.

Pros

Being able to integrated our social media is exactly what we need.

Cons

Not being able to fully understand when you are approaching your limit on usage.

Pros

great intergrations
easy to setup use
multifunctional

Cons

pricing
ability have more database info

Pros

I like mobile text alerts for staying on top of different events going on at some of my favorite stores.

Cons

Sometimes the stores go overboard with the amount of messages they send but that doesn’t have anything to do with the quality of the app!

Pros

It is easy to navigate and has several good features that make it user friendly.

Cons

Some of the features could be streamlined. For example, when add a subscriber and it saves it should populate a new blank screen to add the next one. The mobile app isn't as easy to use.

Pros

I LOVE the customer service as well as the design, functionality, and intuitive structure. The Mobile Text Alert crew is super responsive and helpful in resolving any questions or issues that arise.

Cons

I would like to be able to add a small group of subscribers all at once on one screen rather than one at a time. It is a minor negative though.

Pros

We have used this to send out info to tenants. makes it easy to send notes and gets the message out very quick

Cons

I hate that there was a limit on how many text you can send out at once. unless you pay for the big package

Pros

I liked the helpful reminders and how it’s not repetitive and annoying.

Cons

I don’t really approve of how time consuming sending a reminder is.
