How It Works

The AmiCell® SMS Internet Client is desktop application software that connects via the Internet to send and receive SMS messages via the AmiCell® SMS Access Point hosted by MicroTeq (No SMS Hardware required).

Address BookThe AmiCell® SMS Internet Client has a comprehensive address book for storing recipient contact details. The address consists of a three-tier storage structure so you can store you recipients in easy-to-access folders and groups. Detailed historical data of all SMS transactions, error logs, replies, usage statistics, etc. are stored locally on the computer and can at any time be exported to spreadsheets.

Software-Based SMS SendingThe AmiCell® SMS Internet Client has the ability to send large volumes of SMS Messages at a very high delivery rate through the AmiCell® SMS Access Point even if your Internet connection speed is slow. Being a desktop application, no internet delays are experienced when manipulating data. Your recipient contact details are stored safe on your own computer.

The AmiCell® SMS Internet Client is the perfect SMS tool for individuals, small or large organizations that requires an effective yet simple tool to send out bulk or single SMS messages at the click of a button.

SMS Scheduler

SMS messages can be scheduled by date and time to recipients. It also allows you to pre-format the SMS messages with various delivery options. SMS messages can be scheduled for later dates and times with support for recurring schedules including hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly occurrences. [Screenshot]

Keyword Manager

The Keyword Manager allows you to setup a keyword campaign that keeps track of all entries under specific keywords. Whenever a recipient replies to your SMS with a pre-created keyword and optional extra text, the Keyword Manager will automatically validate the SMS as part of the particular keyword campaign. From the keyword's entries received you can update recipient details with the extra text in the SMS, store all entries in a specific recipient folder and export the entries to a spreadsheet. The Keyword Manager is a powerful marketing tool! [Screenshot]

Historical Data and Delivery Reports

The AmiCell® SMS Internet Client stores detailed historical data of all SMS transactions processed by user, periods (year, month), recipients, error logs, usage statistics, etc. All historical data can be exported with selection filters to a spreadsheet.

Address Book

The aim of the address book is to have a pre-loaded and maintainable database to easily send an SMS message to a group of people from the SMS Control Centre. To ease the classification of recipients, recipients will be categorized by folders and logical groups. Applying your own reference to the recipient allows for easy searching when composing an SMS message. The address book can be populated by adding one recipient at a time or mass importing contacts from a spreadsheet.

Saved Lists are also incorporated to enable special recipient lists. In other words, you can save recipients often in your sending queue to a list for fast selection next time you want to compose an SMS.

Ban List

A Ban List is used to prevent system users from sending SMS messages to a specific recipient. In the event that a recipient chooses not to receive SMS messages from you, they can either reply to an SMS with an opt out keyword like STOP, or you can manually add the cellular number to the Ban List. The AmiCell® SMS Internet Client will never send another SMS to the number unless removed from the Ban List. [Screenshot]

Data Importing
and Exporting

Importing and exporting from the AmiCell® SMS Internet Client makes it possible to interface recipient data to 3rd party software databases. If you already have a large recipient list in another program, you can export the data and easily import it to the address book. Delivery, replies, and error logs can also be exported to spreadsheet or text file format. [Screenshot]

Automatic Software Updates

The AmiCell® SMS Internet Client can be configured to perform vital systems updates online from the AmiCell® support internet servers to ensure that your system is always kept up to date.
