Reply-SMS

With Reply-SMS, or 2-way SMS as some call it, the recipient can reply to your text message and the reåly will be sent directly to your email, or an url, where you can continue the conversation.

This is a setting you can change on your personal Settings in the Toolbox and there are three different options.

Single thread

Same number to the same recipient. This is the standard setting for Reply-SMS.

This is a good option if you want all of your messages collected in one conversation in the recipient´s phone. Just like when you send text messages from your own phone.

We keep track of the conversation by choosing the same originator number for the same recipient. Another recipient might have another number as originator. This means that when you send your SMS, different numbers will be used as originator for different recipients.

The replies are held together in the same conversation in your email, this is achieved by uniquely connecting your user id, the originator number and the recipient´s number. This means that recipients should not save the originator numbers as contacts in their phone and they should also not give the number to someone else as any messages sent from other numbers will not be sent to you.

Multithread

Different originator numbers. This is an option that is included in the standard subscription, but we need to help you with the set up.

This version of 2-way SMS is great if you need to have multiple simultaneous conversations active with the same recipient.

The replies are held together in the same conversation in your email, this is achieved by uniquely connecting your user id, the originator number and the recipient´s number. This means that recipients should not save the originator numbers as contacts in their phone and they should also not give the number to someone else as any messages sent from other numbers will not be sent to you.
