Effective Applications of Bulk SMS in Nigeria
Every organization is faced with the problem of staying in touch with every of its members. If there is one thing we all, it is that we need to keep our mobile phone topped up at all times. And we know that calling and texting are very important when it comes to staying in touch. This is the reason for the many chat applications we have today, wechat, WhatsApp, BBM, Facebook, etc.
Putting all of these together, we see something with all these messaging services; they all have one thing in common which is the need to have a method by which they can reach mobile phone owners and other systems directly.
Bulk SMS can be used in the most basic and remote situations to solve problems that would have required more expensive solutions.
You can have a mobile phone solution that activates
customers’ power supply by sending a text message to a number that is
connected to a CPU that controls signals for "on" and "off". And now
with SMS over the internet, it is very easy to control systems that are
situated in difficult to reach locations.
Even further, we now have events and contests where people participate by sending SMS
to a dedicated phone number. And not only for the contest, but for
marketing, bill payment notifications, reminders, promotions, and lots
more.
And because of the speed of delivery of bulk SMS,
you know that it’s the one thing you can rely on when you have run out
of all other options, say for instance your phone airtime credit is too
low for a call.
The response rate is also something you can count
on. For a certainty, people will read the text messages on their phones
even if they are going to delete the message. And now with the current
crop of smart phones that have large memory and efficient operating
systems, people rarely need to worry about deleting old SMS to make
space for new messages on their phone. So you can be sure that your bulk SMS message will be read by the recipients eventually.
