Textburst is a great way to contact people on a large scale. Some of the advantages are you can tell who they've been delivered to and who they haven't, you can save people in your address book so that you don't have to enter their details more than once and you can enter templates to use in texts so you don't have to write out the same message over and over again. You can also enter your own groups which is great for my company as we have courses with select people on which we can send texts to all at once! The only possible disadvantage is that some phones which are far away are out of range, therefore you cannot contact those people.

I spent about a day looking for SMS services that were non-contractual, easy and affordable for a hobby-business. It met my needs and even offered free auto respond service when I signed up. Friendly staff and I will be recommending to my clients to give that extra professional touch. I liked the fact that it's so easy, you can monitor the tests sent and the demographics (e.g mobile network used). I had a query which was resolver very quickly by another friendly member of staff.

Texting existing staff to provide cover for cleaning jobs has been a real benefit to the business. The site is easy to use and easy to set up. We have also used this for recruitment drives and it has proved a popular communication stream for the business.

I use TextBurst actually as a way to get pages. Currently my company sends the "page" out to an e-mail address. Since I don't receive e-mail on my mobile phone, I set up Outlook on my computer to forward these as text messages to my mobile phone using TextBurst. It's great, very convenient and affordable, and the messages come through very quickly. Sometimes I get the text on my mobile at practically the same moment that I hear the "alarm" go off on my computer to let me know it has forwarded the page. But since now I can get them on my mobile I don't have to sit by the computer any more. One thing that I've noticed is that I seem to be getting two copies... but one of the features I love about TextBurst is the abililty to check and see what messages have been sent. So I can see that the message was only actually sent once (therefore the problem is somewhere else). I also love being able to see my balance online so that I know when to top it off. Thanks TextBurst!

Textburst has been extreamly helpful in communicating with out customers! Its unobtrusive, and very quick and easy! You put the telephone number in and type out the text you want to send and click send to as many people as you like 1-1000!

I am an individual running an website for outsourcing, I always find ways to spread the word of my services which we offer through my website, suddenly TEXTBURST popped up from no where just went into it signed up for it got few free texts tried on few customers...amazingly they mailed me back appreciating customer service for time to time updates via textburst. I immediately bought credit for 5£ and started sending promotional SMS to my members. Slowly started getting mails and phone calls for the quotes...I really think this has helped me improve my sales and customer service....Thank you very much.

I don't use the service much but will need it for certain events and I'm very impressed with how easy it is to use, how quickly you can get the hang of the system and how quickly and efficently the whole thing works. Competitively priced but would be nice if it was a little cheaper.

First time I've ever used a service like this. It was very easy and straight forward and we had some excellent sales as a result! I will definitely be using it on a regular basis. It would be good to click on a previously sent message and have the option to forward it on again to a different number.

Have used textburst for a recent SMS campaign. Got help over the phone and a great response from users.

I have only just signed up to textburst and already I'm thinking of all the ways I can use text messages to build my list of hot prospects and make sure my existing customers are kept up-to-date. At 5p per text I can get to 100 customers for £5 - bargain! And I can build new subscribers for nothing with the free opt in.] I like the simplicity of the site. The free keywords is a great idea. The feedback on campaigns will be very helpful as I try different ideas and find out which works best. My only issue is that it's not possible to get to the FAC and Blog (for help and ideas) directly from the pages once I've signed-in.
