O ur [email protected] service doesn’t send text messages but provides businesses with phone data that facilitates the sending of text messages to their customers. It does this by retrieving Email-to-SMS and Email-to-MMS gateway addresses of client’s wireless phones. Businesses then use these addresses to send SMS and/or MMS messages to their clients via regular email.
Just like all Data247 services, [email protected] service provides multiple ways to look-up phone numbers; real-time API, XML, batch file uploads, FTP server, Browser extensions, and manual data entry.
