What Is Two Way SMS?

Two Way SMS messaging is the most direct and instant tool to engage with customers through personalized experiences. Deliver application to customer conversations or 1:1 agent-to-customer text messaging sessions and eliminate the need for low-value inbound queries with proactive outbound communications based on keyword triggers.

Two Way SMS Benefits

Real - Time Automated Responses

VoiceSage’s management tool gives administrators the power to manage SMS conversations and agent workloads with proactive queue rules (the same call rules that probably already exist in the contact centre). No more manual interventions, just improved customer engagement rates.

Seamless Integrations Into Existing Systems

You might already have SMS or CRM systems in place dealing with inbound communication. Our two way SMS API works with any third party software, so there’s no need for expensive development work. Contact our support team to help you integrate our tool into existing systems.

Payments, Promotions and Delivery Updates

Whether collecting a payment, scheduling delivery alerts, sending marketing messages, or following up a customer service query, two way SMS conversations deliver better responses, higher engagement rates, reduce costs and drive customer satisfaction statistics up.

What Can Two Way SMS Do for Your Business?

  • Two Way SMS has the same result as 30 agents and a dialler
  • One agent can manage 30+ conversations
  • One agent can handle a 6,000 contact file

How Two Way SMS Messaging Works

Campaigns are triggered automatically from internal data systems to initiate a two way customer communication.
