Kick ass reasons NOT to

change your SMS provider

Kick ass reasons not to change your SMS provider, www.textmarketer.co.uk

You’re probably regularly pestered by SMS providers, urging you to use them.

There are a clutch of good reasons why this doesn’t appeal, not least of which is that...

Why so?

Switching SMS

Providers is a Pain in the Arse


Someone’s got to commit effort and brainpower to change and test the code.

It’s going to take time, money headspace and heartache.

It’s a recoding

horror story


The cost may come down, but not by much.

Even over the course of a year the saving will be modest at best.

Any cost reduction

will be relatively measly


Your existing provider is doing just fine.Why upset the apple cart?

It’s a risk


The technical team are flat out right?

So when exactly are you going to find time to schedule this?

It’ll suck your

precious resource


SMS is a valuable function within the platform but it’s only a small component.

It’s never going to be a high priority. Get over it.

SMS is a low priority

and it always will be


So there’s a decent list convincing you that changing SMS provider is nothing but hassle with little or no real benefit.

BUT...(you knew it was coming.)

With just a smidge of exploration, each of the points above can be exposed as either complete sh*te or nowhere near as nasty as you might have thought.

SHITELet’s recap

shall we…


Not really. SMS providers tend to have very similar APIs.You should find it quick and with the help of our geekily clear API documentation, a relative breeze.

It’s a recoding

horror story


Our http posts for sending SMS are formatted like this.

Technical side note...


Quite the reverse. The average saving that companies make by using us is a whopping 38%.

Eyebrows will be raised.If you can reduce your customers’ SMS bill, you’ll be showing your customers you love them.

Any cost reduction

will be relatively measly


Certainly not from a reliability point of view. We’ve spent a decade making our platform as shockproof as possible.

Last year we had 4 minutes of downtime, the entire year. We never ever use grey routes, only direct connections to UK networks.

It’s a risk


It will. But nowhere near as much as you feared.

We wouldn’t presume to know, but we’d be surprised if integrating with our SMS gateway took more than a couple of hours.

It’ll suck your

precious resource


Need it be so? If the cost incentive is big enough and the coding work relatively painless, the predicted headache might not materialise.

SMS is a low priority

and it always will be
