SMS360 Setup Guide

Introduction

Our SMS360 product offers the ability to send your customers a post-call SMS for calls made from a mobile phone.

The message sent can be completely customised by you through the Delacon portal. For example, you may want to thank your customer for the call and provide them with additional contact details. Any replies sent to the SMS by the customer will be received by you as an email. Any replies sent via email will be received as a text message by the customer.

We have partnered with online SMS service BurstSMS to provide this product.
