Has anyone used AdKing's white label sms,mobile apps, mobi sites platform?

I see this is about a month old so I hope this info is still relevant. I have been with Adking and they are a good group of people. The price is very attractive so you have a nice profit margin. They have always been responsive and in general good to work with.

However, the system is not a true SMS system and it lacks many of the features that you may desire and are offered by other white labels. For example, There is no way to manually upload mobile numbers to the system nor can you install a widget on a site to collect numbers.

You really end up having to pitch it as a "Mobile VIP Club" because the only way your clients can get opt-ins is through a double opt in process. The good thing is that no one can accuse your client of spam which is something that we always mentioned.

Also, with most other SMS platforms you send a keyword to a shortcode. With the Adking system you must choose a domain like texteznow.org. They will build a site for you that is a template site. It really can't be changed or even optimized for search. We had to build a totally different site. When you setup a client they get a "keyword." The "shortcode" is through "dotorg" or 368674 on a phone's keypad. So in this case a Pizza place might advertise join the Mobile VIP Club by sending "texteznow pizza" to 368674.

The customer will get an option of 1) receiving the current offer or 2) get the offer and subscribe to updates. It was something like that. I really would have liked to be able to create our own initial messages. Your customers will be able to send messages and that's about it. Your clients don't even have access to any specific customer info and so you can not "port" a client's database of customers over to a new platform.

Other systems are feature rich. Many of these systems offer appointment tools, QR codes, mobile polling, social media plugins, text-to-win, Questionnaires, location-based technology, the ability to send sms on a sheduled date and time, the ability to create many keywords, the flexibility of being able to "sign-up" in person, over a PC or through a mobile phone.

I have nothing negative to say about Adking. There system does work. This was the first platform that we started with and we learned very quickly that our system could not do many of the things that our competition could do. So we stopped selling it as a text message marketing platform and we called it a "Mobile VIP Club." The other systems might seem pricey but in my opinion you typically do get what you pay for.

I hope this helps anyone reading this.

Ditto with Dmagnet, I could not have said it better.

Great post Dmagnet, the above quote pretty much seems it up in a jiffy.

@zenyatta are you using lime cellular or another company?

I have used it very recently and i am very disappointed. I had to leave them. It seems that these guys are not ready, and they have ABSOLUTELY no customer service at all.
It's a bunch of nice talk in order to sell.

Any other reviews on this SMS White Label provider?
