Anyone know a good sms/text message plugin for WP?
Share on: 
fb share twitter share gplus share more share

I want to add a form to my Wordpress site to allow visitors to send me a message via text. Ideally I want to capture their mobile # too so I can reply via text. I can't find any Wordpress plugins, or at least I can't manage to get any to work. Has anyone had success implementing something like this? I'm not a coder.

Thanks!

Hi Celeste, would you be using Twilio to send the SMS message or someone else? I have something similar that's standalone but could be easily adapted for WordPress.

Let me know.

Cheers,

Jay

Sorry, I am too busy helping people to think of a cool signature!

Also check if your reseller has code to place on your site. The reseller I have allows me to put a TXT message sign up form on my site.

Do you try servage.net
After you pay for hosting, you got SMS gateway API , you can send SMS, but you have to purchase credits

Check out Chad Wyatt's WSO's He has designed wordpress to interface with Twilio accounts. I have set these up and they work real well.

Andrew Mitchell had a WSO last week with a pop up form that would
allow your users to opt-in to your SMS.... and then they would be
added to your account over at SignalHQ.

Looked pretty easy to me.

kind regards,

Hugh

I do this now with my clients but its more for building lists, not getting sms messages myself. That's a cool idea though. What I do is tie the popup form (using a free popup wp plugin) to an openvbx flow. Visitor enters their phone number to opt in and they get saved into a database and SMS reply is sent to their phone. You can see an example popup at Hair Salon Grand Rapids, MI | Sorella Hair Design | 49546

Hi Jay, I've got Jump Mobi and I'm looking for a SMS platform that will a) serve as an appointment reminder and b) do broadcast messages. Could you PM me please?

Thanks,
Andy
