Absolutely not, we are ISO 27001 certified and security and confidentiality are at the forefront of the service we provide to our customers. We treat your recipient phones as your data. We comply fully with the Data Protection Act, and seek to protect your data.

Yes, we offer bulk sms sending. You can send to up to 1000 messages at a time on any of our solutions (2sms website, 2sms software solutions)

You can now send long messages up to 18,000 characters. When you send a long message, the first message can be up to 160 characters long. However when you go over that the first few characters of the subsequent messages are replaced with a binary UDH header, meaning that the message length decreases to 145 characters for each subsequent message sent.

Yes. In order for us to receive 2-way messages on your behalf you would need to be provided with a unique long number, which looks the same as a mobile phone number and this is dedicated to you. Once we have received the data on your behalf we would then process it for you in whichever format you require. This can be forwarded to either another mobile phone, or an outbound email to alert to SMS receipt, or an XML post to remote domain to alert to SMS receipt or a WAP session to view traffic stats and these are all charged at 1 message credit each.

PAAR is a four-step process for Emergency Planning. It consists of the following elements:

Prepare

• 2sms helps by setting up your accounts and sub accounts
• 2sms helps setup and organize your lists to reflect certain geographical area, departments, and organizational charts
• 2sms will train your human resource departments as well as management

Alert

• Send alert messages concerning the emergency to employees from your computer, website and cell phone
• Let employees know where to meet or contingency plans
• See who got your message and when
• Have them reply back as to status, location or acknowledgement of message

Assist

• Determine who has not responded to your alert
• Notify first responders to who is missing and last known location (e.g. 5th floor of Building II)
• Help families know where their love ones are

Recover

• Get back to normal faster
• Direct your emergency resources more effectively
• Inform key personnel of changes in routing your business
• Communicate an "all clear" message to your employees to resume business as usual

In the United States we are required to send an opt-out message the first occasion of the sending of the message to the unique cell phone number.

We are not required to send an opt out message to the second and subsequent message to each unique cell phone. We will charge the customer for the cost of this carrier required opt out message. Standard 2sms messaging credit rates apply. This is true for all US and Canadian handsets.

The standard format of this message will be as follows:

"2sms enterprise alerts. Other charges apply. Prices & T&Cs at www.2sms.com. Support: 877 276 7266. support@2sms.com. Send STOP to opt out."
