Message Shout's Service Features

With Message Shout you can maintain a single integrated database that combines the power of SMS Mobile Text, Instant Message, Email, Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter!

BULK SMS

Businesses and organizations utilize Message Shout's web-based software for its Mobile Keyword technology and Bulk Texting Services. They utilize the Mobile Keywords to get people to opt-in to their mobile distribution list, and then using Message Shout they send out Bulk SMS Text Messages once they've accumulated a list of numbers to text. You can click here to see how restaurants (just as an example) are using Mobile Keywords and Bulk SMS Texting.

MOBILE KEYWORDS

Setup as many Mobile Keywords as you'd like in minutes. When people text your keyword it automatically opts their mobile number into your Message Shout database. Automatic replies are texted back to people that text your Mobile Keyword, and you can customize and change this auto-responder text at any time.

• Send the auto response message once per mobile number, every time the keyword is texted, or once per time frame (day, hour, week, or month). You can also send an Alternate Auto Response text message if someone has already texted your keyword before.
• People can text your Mobile Keyword followed by a message they want to send you. All of their messages will be captured in your Message Shout Inbox or you can have them forwarded to an email or mobile phone of your choice.
• Automated and recurring messages can be sent to any new keyword signups. So if someone texts your Mobile Keyword you can setup an automatic text to be sent to them on day 1, day 5, day 30, day 100, etc.
• Have a notification texted to your mobile phone or emailed to you when somebody texts your keyword so you can follow up right away.

MOBILE VOTING

Create all types of fun and engaging SMS votes and polls and ask a multiple choice question with up to ten choices. As people vote via text messaging, every vote is categorized and automatically tallied so that it's really easy for you to see and analyze the results. Click here to read more.

TWO-WAY TEXT MESSAGING

Two-way text messaging (chatting) allows you to send messages back and forth to individuals. Recipients of a text blast can simply reply back to the text message and their responses will be captured in your Message Shout Inbox or forwarded to an email or mobile phone of your choice.

• Easily export out all of the replies and messages from the Inbox to an Excel file.
• Permanently remove and easily block mobile numbers right from the Inbox.

ADVANCED MESSAGING OPTIONS (for all modes)

• Tie your mobile phone to your account so that when you're not in front of a computer you can send out a single text message from your phone and message everyone in a distribution list on every mode of communication (SMS, IM, and Email).
• Setup recurring and automated messages to be sent out at certain days and times of the week, month, or year.
• Schedule messages for future delivery time.
• Compose mobile texts, instant messages, and emails that automatically address each recipient by their first and last name so it's more personal (merged fields).
• Select from over 100 stylish email templates or plug in your own custom HTML code.
• Update your status messages on Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter right from Message Shout.
• Easily select only certain area codes to send your text messages to.
