TextMagic: Communicate Directly With Your Audience

I managed to launch successful promotional and communications campaign, and have the message get right away to the targeted audience as compared to other means where the message opening rate is low (email) or where the message gets lost in a flood of content (social media). Great experience. I definitely recommend.

PROS

I love the fact that their SMS delivery rate are almost at 100%. The SMS length calculator is very useful and helps in saving costs. Their pre-build SMS templates are very useful and helps save time and copy-writing efforts. Best of all, the multiple numbers from which the SMS can be sent, if not the most sought Custom Sender ID, for optimal branding.

CONS

I would appreciate that the prices get lower, or packs for unlimited SMS's for a day for example, were available.

Very relyable software for sending SMS through e-mail, we endorse it to all our customers.

happy customers

PROS

Easy setup, fair pricing , reliable for business environments, instant support, didn't encounter any downtime the last 5 years

CONS

It would be better if they where better known in Europe, than it would be easier to recommend it to our customers. For the rest not a single thing. It does what it has to do without unneccesary options.

Terrible Customer Service

Terrible. When errors happened the customer service took days to respond or did not respond at all

PROS

When it worked, it was acceptable. The interface is easy to use.

CONS

It did not accurately tell me if messages were delivered or not. Sometimes entire batches of messaged were not delivered. You cannot receive picture messages, and the service does not notify sender that their message was not supported.

Reasons for switching to TextMagic

Because your customer service was garbage, and the product did not consistently work.

Vendor Response

Thank you for sharing the review. We apologize that our agent responded to you only after a delay. In our support section, we tried our best to explain that in North America, the delivery status shows whether Textmagic has successfully sent the text to the carrier. If your texts were not delivered to the end-users, it means that they were blocked by the carrier's spam filter. Traffic verification is a new industry-wide requirement. Message delivery cannot be guaranteed if you are not 10DLC-compliant or have not completed the toll-free verification. Please contact Textmagic support to confirm whether you can continue using our products for sending texts.

A central TextMessaging platform that's as intuitive as it is powerful

A central text messaging platform that allows a whole team to send and reply to text messages from anywhere. Very simple, and has stopped my phone buzzing and no longer need to pass out my personal phone number.

PROS

After growing the business beyond the capabilities of my iPhone keyboard for texting customers, I moved to TextMagic because of its Zapier integration and simplicity. Works as expected, is simple and very well thought out.

CONS

A few things which doesn't work for MY particular company but may be necessary for others is: - "Chats" tab doesn't show an outgoing message in no reply has been returned (as if it were Android or iOS, or Facebook) You have to go into "History" tab until a message as been returned - If you set up seperate roles under the same company, you can't see who has replied to which text, this is on an individual login basis. Like I said there may be reasons for this design, but it doesn't work with my company and workflow so we've had to share the password to the main account. A minor issue in the scheme of things.

Love Text Magic!!!

Same as the above question about what I liked....very easy/user friendly, customer service is on point, and the options for saving the info collected are great!

PROS

Not very tech savvy, but text magic was extremely easy to use, and what I didn't know or understand is explained within the program. Anytime I needed help, customer service responds immediately! Great service, great program for our research needs!

CONS

Not a thing! Very happy with the program...

Reason for choosing TextMagic

Excellent SMS Reminder Product

We use TextMagic everyday to remind our contractors of their shifts. It works perfectly for us and stops any cleans being missed. The contractors also enjoy being remindered where they are going each day.

PROS

Ease of use with many features to suit your needs.

CONS

We like all the features. There is nothing that we need to add.

Only Updated Needed

PROS

I like that there's an app and you can keep business related texts in text magic while using the default text app for personal items.

CONS

It needs an update to allow picture messages to be sent. Our business requires paper copies of things to be sent to us and once in a while our clients text documents to us which text magic doesn't currently support picture messages. Not asking for video or files but picture messages would be a huge upgrade.

Vendor Response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Unfortunately, TextMagic does not offer the MMS feature at the moment. However, you can add an SMS attachment to your message - it will be sent as a download link inside the text message. We will definitely announce if this feature becomes available in the future.

Best Interface, User-Friendly, Professional, A Little Pricey Though

I am yet to find a match for TextMagic, possessing the full power and capabilities. TextMagic is the best. I definitely recommend!

PROS

TextMagic is highly reliable as a communications provide. I've been using this software since 2001 and never had a single issue with it. The text message service is perfect with a delivery rate of 99.9%. Great features when it comes to Custom Sender ID, contact list building and reporting.

CONS

My only little remark with TextMagic is the price. It should get lower, to be more affordable, and if not, offer some daily, unlimited packages for example.

It Just Works (TM)

I run a website that grew from a personal hobby to 3 million monthly users. I have monitoring scripts that use TextMagic to send me text messages whenever something unexpected happens. In addition, I have a home server running all kinds of smaller pet projects that also send out text messages on certain conditions. TextMagic works flawlessly every single time. In two years, I never once had a SMS fail to go out. I couldn't say if they are expensive or not. To be honest, I never had reason to shop around after day 1. I also never needed customer support, but that in itself deserves five stars in my book. :-)

PROS

It does one thing and does it flawlessly.

TextMagic has changed the way we do business. It is so much easier to get in touch with our clients.

This product has saved me both time and money. And as we all know time is money, the reality is it has saved me money.

PROS

The best thing about TextMagic is its ease of use. Simply enter the phone number you wish to text and type out a message. Then the messages show up in a chat format making keeping in touch with clients a breeze. This has saved us hours of time on the phone. It is also nice to have preset forms to quickly enter saving even more time.

CONS

I guess one feature I wish it had was a desktop format we could just open without needing to keep an internet page open.

Awesome

Easy way of sending out communications to certain suppliers with them knowing who exactly its from and also sending our details to customers

PROS

Very easy to use, impresses customers when they receive the text messages. Easy to store contacts and seperate into groups. Also really like being able to save templates to save time when sending similar texts to multiple contacts

CONS

It comes at a cost to setup a reply service where you can communicate with customers, would be great to be able to receive responses for free or within the credits

Vendor Response

Thank you for your feedback. I would like to let you know that incoming messages are always free for you. You are sending messages from a sender ID (your business name), and this is why no one is able to reply to you. If you need a two-way SMS service, you should send messages from our shared or dedicated number. I recommend you to contact our support line, if you have any questions.

Run from this company

Something changed in 2022. The software worked well but on more than 1 occasion we found residents didn’t receive a text. As a test we contacted a building and texted all of the phones. Not one person received the message but Text Magic charged for the messages. We found a much better reputable company called SimplyTexting. SimpleTexting is cheaper with more capabilities and all texts are sent.

PROS

The software was easy to use and had many great features.

CONS

Not all text messages are sent but you are charged for the texting they attempted to send.

Reason for choosing TextMagic

We got rid of text magic due to false billing charges on more than 1 occasion.

Vendor Response

Thank you for taking the time to provide your review. We are sorry that the solution we offered was not suitable, and that you decided to switch to another supplier. According to our records, you experienced message delivery problems because you were not compliant with a new industry-wide process. In 2022 we notified you by email that the toll-free verification form was missing on your account. Message delivery cannot be guaranteed under these conditions.
