SMS Campaign marketing (additional charge). Run targeted campaigns to drive sales, improve brand awareness, generate new clients or even remind clients of events and appointments through campaign SMS marketing. Targeted SMS will be charged at your same excess SMS rate Head here find out your SMS rate.
