How to send bulk SMS from your computer?
Bulk SMS messages sent by businesses have become increasingly popular and widespread in recent years, mainly because SMS boast an open rate of up to 98%. With almost 90% of users carrying their mobile phone at all times, SMS messages are read within about 90 seconds of delivery. In addition, SMS messages have a much higher click-through rate than emails. They hover at an average of 36% compared to 3.5% for newsletters. This makes this channel one of the fastest and most effective.
For businesses and companies, sending bulk SMS messages is very effective and affordable. GoSMS offers the ability to communicate with your customers in real time anywhere in the world, anytime through an intuitive online GoSMS platform.
Below we will present you with 3 ways to use GoSMS right on your computer and communicate with your customer database at the click of a button.
GoSMS application
As part of the GoSMS service, you can also use an application through which SMS messages can be sent. It’s very simple, just register an account and then verify it.
After that, in the Contacts -> Import Contacts category, you can import the lists of your customers to whom you want to send messages.
You then go to Messages and the category Write message. Here you can fill in the text field with the SMS message you want to send, select the list of recipients, the sender and then you can send the message immediately or schedule it to be sent. Of course, you also have the option to send one test SMS to your own phone number before the final campaign is sent, so you can get an idea of what the text message will look like once sent.
And that’s it! Within minutes, you’ll be able to reach your entire customer database through an inexpensive and user-friendly channel.

You can also add newsletters to your SMS
SMS messages also work great when interacting with another communication platform, email. If you are also thinking about making communication with your customers more attractive and including newsletters, you can use our sister app Reago. Within this application, you can send both SMS messages and the aforementioned newsletters. You may be thinking that you’ll need to set up an SMS account with another platform, but that’s not the case. You can quickly and easily link your existing GoSMS account with Reago and then it’s up to you whether you want to send SMS messages from GoSMS or from Reago in combination with newsletters. You only need to top up one credit in the GoSMS app itself. In Reag, it is then charged to your linked GoSMS account. So you can send out SMS messages at your convenience without any worries.
API integration
Bulk SMS messages can also be sent via API integration. With this API, you can connect your application/program/internal software with the GoSMS SMS gateway. This process allows you to send SMS messages easily through your software.
The API integration is available completely free of charge and in case you don’t know how to connect it, our team of experienced experts are here to help you.
