When sending SMS, quickly select one or more contacts or groups as recipients from the address book, with an option to remove duplicate messages.
SMS folder management

The messages also display a delivery report against each message. Custom folders are useful in organizing your messages and report creation. Messages can also be exported to a CSV file.

The application can be installed in multiple modes i.e. Stand-Alone or Client-Server. The stand-alone mode is suited for single machine deployments and the client-server mode is suited for large organizations that want to centralize messaging and install clients on multiple machines. A simple wizard guides you through the setup and configuration of these modes. You can also download the installation manual, which is a step-by-step guide and provides solutions to common installation issues.
