A UK-based global telecommunications network provider, Core Telecom currently supports over 500 charitable organisations across the UK by covering call charges for their 03 Phone Number services.

SMS has become an essential tool for housing associations, providing instant and reliable interaction with tenants. It helps reduce missed appointments, improves tenant engagement, and streamlines rent reminders. SMS Direct enhances these benefits by offering cost-effective solutions that improve service efficiency and ensure the prompt delivery of critical updates:
Bulk SMS
The SMS Direct platform allows you to send large volumes of messages instantly. Simply upload a CSV file with the required details. Each SMS (up to 160 characters) costs 1 credit – longer messages consume additional credits. Enhance engagement, save time, and build credibility with SMS Direct.
Templates
If you want to create a personalised message for a large number of your contacts, you can do that by creating a template for them at once through the templates feature. This allows you to send it automatically whenever you want in the future.
Dynamic Fields
Personalisation is key in today’s communication. According to sender.com, 78% of people prefer personalised messages and are more likely to engage with them. The Dynamic Field feature on SMS Direct allows you to customise text messages by adding recipient-specific details, making each message feel personal and relevant.
URL Tracking
Understand your audience better with URL Tracking. This feature enables customers to monitor how many times their messages are opened. Simply navigate to the Send SMS section, click on Campaigns, and track the interest level of recipients by observing their engagement with your website through the included links.
Blacklisting
Managing your audience is now simpler. With the Blacklisting feature, you can easily remove uninterested recipients from your mailing list. Whether a recipient has requested removal or you wish to exclude specific contacts from your campaigns, this feature ensures your messaging stays targeted and compliant.
Seamless API
The SMS Direct API seamlessly integrates with your CRM and other business systems, enabling you to send messages to all your contacts instantly. With robust automation, real-time delivery tracking, and high-speed processing, you can streamline communication and enhance customer engagement effortlessly.
With these innovative features, SMS Direct offers improved personalisation, efficiency, and audience management. Whether tracking engagement, tailoring messages, or refining contact lists, the platform empowers organisations to create impactful and successful campaigns.
Core Telecom offers SMS Direct services at competitive rates, starting from as little as 1.6p per message (subject to volume). To support new customers, the company is providing up to 20,000 bonus credits on their first purchase.
