What is BulkSMS.com?

BulkSMS is a business messaging and SMS gateway platform developed by Celerity Systems to help organizations communicate with customers, employees, and other contacts through mobile messaging. The software provides multiple messaging interfaces, including a browser-based application, downloadable Windows and macOS desktop software, and an API for programmatic integration. Users can send individual or bulk SMS messages, organize contact lists, import recipient information, and create personalized communications using message templates. Its campaign management capabilities include scheduled messaging, configurable sender IDs, automated opt-in and opt-out handling, and support for long messages and Unicode characters. Two-way SMS functionality allows recipients to respond to outgoing messages, with incoming replies available through the messaging dashboard or supported integrations. The platform offers dedicated incoming long numbers and SMS shortcodes for businesses that require additional options for receiving messages and managing customer interactions. Its REST API enables developers to integrate SMS functionality into websites, customer relationship management systems, mobile applications, and automated business workflows. Webhooks and messaging integrations support automated appointment reminders, order confirmations, service notifications, one-time passwords, payment alerts, and other event-triggered communications. BulkSMS also provides RCS Business Messaging for branded messages with rich media and interactive buttons, alongside WhatsApp Business Messaging for customer notifications, marketing, and support. Reporting and account management features include delivery status tracking, message histories, downloadable reports, SMS credit purchases, automated credit top-ups, and low-balance notifications.

    Excellent Support

    5 out of 5 stars Updated: Feb 10 2025
    Summary

    My results and final decision are only due to the nature of my customers' requirements and in no way do (my failed results) reflect in any way or shape the service nor its quality. The support team is properly a good one too Iย may add. Great support, excellent attitude and very customer conscience.
    I know this sounds too good as a review, but i really enjoyed working an debugging my issue with these people.

    Positive

    Customer Oriented, Quick minded and extremely helpful in resolving a technical issue. My issued ultimately failed to be resolved but this was not due to any lack of knowledge nor on any part because of BulkSMS. My conditions to work with the service we're out of the scope of what BulkSMS could provide, issue is on me, not BulkSMS.

    Negative

    Nothing, besides the fact that the SMS forwarder was not able to perform as per my requirements. Which is a contractual argument, nothing to do with BulkSMS directly.

    AWESOME

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Jun 05 2025
    Summary

    Quick and easy! When you use GPT to setup the API and resolve reasons why messages don't send. Very quick once figured out and sms's send very fast

    Positive

    Customer service resolved my query in less than 1 hour! SMS sent is SUPER fast and really much cheaper than Twill

    Negative

    The dashboard is a bit outdated. Reasons why messages don't send are a bit of a hassle. Best to just ask ChatGPT what the errors are and API implementation.

    Welcome persistence, and honesty

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Nov 27 2024
    Summary

    Excellent service.

    Positive

    I am well into my 8th decade, and BulkSMS is crucial to my navigation of online security. It is how I confirm to the need for additional security codes. Recently I changed my OS ie in effect was operating from a new computer, and my bank wanted that additional assurance. But their messages didn't reach me. I contacted BulkSMS support and they investigated over a period of more than a week, and ultimately concluded that there was a wider issue that I had been affected by. The team kept me updated about their progress.
    All too often, online 'support teams' are keen to attribute blame elsewhere or fob off complaints any which way. BulkSMS are the real deal.

    Negative

    Nothing to complain of.

    Not user friendly

    1 out of 5 stars Updated: Aug 17 2024
    Summary

    Very unhappy
    I have said it all already in the cons
    Planned to send one message out fast
    Very user unfriendly

    Positive

    The idea of sending messages fast to my clients.

    Negative

    To whom it may concern

    My plan was to send approximately 2000 messages to my clients. This task was only completed 2 weeks !!! Later
    Extremely user unfriendly
    Had to scroll down for each phone number to add. Absolute night mare
    After arranging a conference with your staff, it was still not possible to send the messages.
    I had to ask my son in law. He had nearly a two hour conversation with your staff how to make it go.
    Last not least I had to buy more credit. I had counted the messages which I managed to send and i couldnโ€™t have taken up all the credit which i originally paid for.
    It was very misleading between credit and messages
    Sorry but I cannot recommend your service at all. It was actually a nightmare because I had to get out the messages as quick as possible
    Regards
    Andrea
