Let`s talk terminology:

• SMS stands for Short Message Service – most commonly referred to as a “text message”. Fast, functional and simple, they are the bare bones of messaging and are restricted to chunks of text that are 160 characters or less.
• MMS refers to Multimedia Messaging and is a heartier evolution of the standard SMS. It can include pictures, video, audio content and more. WeText maximizes this potential by embedding high resolution videos, audios and pictures directly into the body of the text.
• Mass SMS or Bulk SMS services Message hundreds of recipients with a click of a button. Obviously, WeText makes this exceptionally easy to do.
• Short Codes are an easy-to-remember number that are typically five or six digits long. It allows people to reply to your messages without needing to type in a full ten-digit phone number.
• Keywords are a tool used to grow and manage your contact list and reach new audiences. For instance, you can encourage people to text “join” to a selected Short Code in order to be added to your contact list.
• Shared Short Codes are usually available for free and may be used among a variety of different clients at different times. WeText differentiates which client is using the number through the use of keywords and transfers each message to the correct database.
• Dedicated Short Codes are exclusive to each individual business but cost money to rent. Random Short Codes are the less expensive option, consisting of a random combination of numbers while Vanity Short Codes cost more and may be selected specifically to be easy to remember (such as 123456) or to spell out a business’s name.
• Sub-keywords may be used to further organize your messages or track interests. An example would be to text “Join NYC” or “Join LA” to differentiate which customers are coming from a certain location.

Let’s talk specifics:
