Services
Moretext offers the following services:-
General Services
All SMS accounts allow you to manage lists, choose the origination
address (who the handset tells you the message is from), choose the
message class (normal or Class 0 - flash) and be notified by email
when a messages is sent from your account so you can keep track of your usage.
In fact, the only features which are optional are support for incoming messages
and reselling the service.

Bulk SMS sending
Using redundant high speed links into the mobile networks, we can send
your messages in the blink of an eye! If you need to send one message or
ten thousand, our simple interface makes it easy and fast.
Our system allows you to specify the originator of your messages, so you
can make it appear that messages have been sent from your office number,
your mobile, or even put in your company name as text!

List management
An important part of bulk sending is the ability to manage your numbers.
Moretext makes this simple. You can create named lists of numbers, then just
select the list you would like to send to when you type in your message.
Our server will automatically make sure your numbers are in the right
format, and will even allow you to paste a list in from a spreadsheet or Word document.
Are your numbers in national, international or random formats? Is your list comma delimited
or with each number on a separate line? Do you have text fields in addition to the numbers?
We don't care! Our unique system will take just about anything you care to throw at it.
Advanced de-duplication ensures that you will not have the same number more
than once in your lists - regardless of the format you entered the number in.
For example, if your spreadsheet has both (07973)987-654 and +447973987654, we will
spot that these are the same number and only send one message to it! This will cut
your costs and improve your image with the recipients.
Following filtering and de-duplication, your numbers are sorted into ascending order
allowing you to easily find specific numbers to remove or correct. You can edit, delete or
add numbers to the lists stored on our server. What could be easier?
We can also offer bespoke number acquisition packages - for example allowing your
customers to subscribe to your SMS mailing list by entering their number on
a web page, or by sending an SMS message to our servers.
As responsible members of the mobile community, we will not provide ready-made lists
of numbers for you. Sending bulk unsolicited messages is specifically prohibited by our
terms and conditions

Email to SMS
If you would rather send a message using email instead of the web interface,
our email to SMS system lets you send to individual numbers, a list of numbers
contained within the email, or a list of numbers stored on our server.
Information on how to do this is in the programmer's reference
(Adobe Acrobat reader required).

SMS enable your web application
Do you want to have your web application send messages for you? How about
SMS notification of orders placed on your website, or a "Text us Now!" facility?
Whatever your requirements, our http POST interface will allow you to do it
simply with minimal scripting on your server.

Incoming (or 2-way) SMS
As part of our advanced offerings, we can manage incoming SMS for you.
This is a bespoke service, customised to your individual needs. Typical
ways of managing incoming messages are:-
- Forward them to a nominated email address (SMS to email)
- Add the incoming number to bulk lists on your outgoing account based on the
incoming text (Keyword based number acquisition)
- Call a script on your web server, passing the message details as parameters
- Batch incoming messages together, and forward them as email on an hourly,
daily or weekly basis
- Send an automatic reply on your behalf in addition or instead of the
above options (autoresponding)

Innovative reselling opportunities
If you are working on an application which will have many end-users,
you may wish to maintain control of their usage. Rather than ask each
user to set up their own Moretext account, you can become a reseller and
add them yourself.
Resold accounts are set up on an unbranded (white label) server managed
by us. This can have your branding (name, logo, contact details, colour scheme etc.)
applied so your end users know they are buying from you. This is not served from
the moretext.com domain, nor are there links back to Moretext from the site - it
appears as if it is yours.
You buy messages from us in bulk, and resell to your users either at
cost or for a profit - your choice. You can move credits from your account
to your user's accounts at will, as long as you have sufficient available on your
account.
The resold service is entirely run on our servers - you need not even have
your own web site!
