How to broadcast more messages at lower cost?

Your recipients must first download our RapidSMS App (FREE) before you can send documents or FREE messages to them.

Once you have downloaded the app, launch it then follow the steps in the app to verify your phone number.

Who is suitable to use this?

We recommend you to use RapidSMS APP, if you:

• Regularly message the similar group of recipients weekly/monthly
• Don't have an easily accessible Technical Team to automate processes for you
• Would like a cheaper 2 ways communication
• Need to send images, documents, poll or RSVP frequently 
• Would like to send longer message that is more than 160 characters*

* 1 SMS can only hold 160 characters. Telco allows a maximum of 5 SMS length per message. RapidSMS App allows up to 3000 characters to be sent.

How RapidSMS helps you save time and cost ?

If you need to inform a thousand of recipients about an urgent notice like the sudden closure of school next day, how would you do it?

1. Write an email and hope the recipients read it in time?
2. Inform the teachers to SMS the parents?

If your teacher takes 10 seconds to SMS 1 recipients, it will take you around 2 hours and 42 minutes to message 1000 recipients. This does not include the time taken to check for duplicate phone number and validity of phone number. 

Let's look at the breakdown of how time can be saved below:

	Your Phone	RapidSMS
SenderID	Your phone number	Any word
Recipients	Select from your phone or enter numbers manually	Upload an excel file or enter number manually
Maximum message length	160 characters	760 characters
Check duplicated phone number	Manual	Automated
Message sent status	Have to check conversation 1 by 1	View all status in 1 glance
Total time taken to send 1000 SMSes	Estimate 2h 42m	1 m*

*Subjected to your internet connection speed. Fastest recorded time is 1 minute, average is 2 to 3 minutes.
