Using a Virtual Phone Number for SMS

 

A virtual phone number for sms exists and is accessible only for these purposes. For example, getting various promotional codes for free gifts; collecting coupons; or just getting numbers for various communication purposes. Here, the telephone also serves as a limiting factor to prevent the possibility of having multiple copies of any prize reaching you. This is the main advantage of this type of number.

There are a few companies that offer this service for mobile numbers. This is usually available through mobile operators in different countries. For example, in the USA there are a couple of companies that do provide this kind of number. They can be contacted via their websites. The ones that are provided by the phone companies are usually toll free numbers and have very limited numbers of unique calls.

As far as its usage is concerned, there is really no limitation. Since these are not landline numbers, sending and receiving SMS from them is as efficient as from a normal phone. The only difference is that there is a cost involved in accessing this kind of numbers. However, there are many service providers who charge a very reasonable amount for these virtual numbers which is extremely low when we compare it with traditional phone numbers.

There are several benefits of using a virtual SMS number for SMS. For one, sending messages to people is extremely easy and efficient. All you need is a computer and an Internet connection. For this purpose, there are some simple text services that allow sending of messages to multiple people at the same time. These services include simple texting like sending and receiving sms; sending and receiving emails; creating email address book and so on.

If you also have such a text service then you can easily send text blasts anytime you want. For example, you can send a text blast after your customers have left feedback or reviews about your products. Or you can send a text blast after your employees have done a great job for your company. All you need to do is to write the number of the person who you want to send the message to and then send the text blast. The simple text blasts usually take less than a minute. However, since it is a virtual number you are not required to pay any extra money and it also does not limit you in any way.

Apart from this, sending messages via SMS to a number is more efficient than having a voice conversation with your customer or your employees. Remember that if you talk to your customer through phone then it will take a lot of time before he gets back to you. So, it is better to talk to him through a message and send him messages only when required. But, you can send messages to his phone anytime and anywhere as long as there is an internet connection available. Therefore, using a virtual number is an easy and effective way to manage your business.
