I am using OpenVBX and now have 2 clients who have paid me even before their 7 day free trial (that I set up for them) ran out. And this in just the last couple days. You can set it up with your own logo and impress the heck out of potential clients. I may use other services in the future, I don't know yet, but OpenVBX is working for me now.

Hi Russell,

If you're looking for a white label mobile marketing solution, I'd recommend that you take a look at Trumpia SMS Texting service.

I have a free mobile marketing forum. We have a special deal for our forum members with a full white label SMS platform. There are too many features to list here but it comes with a very comprehensive client dashboard. The dashboard is completely branded with your company's logo so it looks like YOU ARE the platform.
For my forum we have the $400 set up fee and the $300/mo licensing fee WAIVED for life. The costs are $9.95 per active acct, $2/keyword, and 1.5¢ a message. You create your own resell packages and pricing and can do 30 day free trials as you only pay for the "active accounts".
Some of the features you wont find everywhere - you can post your SMS coupon to a FB page and customers wishing to receive it have to opt in to the campaign first. They also integrate with APIs directly to your fanpage or website. The biggest one is the fact they can track and monitor coupon redemption so that customers cannot reuse or share coupons with others who have not opted in. They also do beautiful mobile landing pages for specific product promotion or branding for larger companies. Here is the link to more info and again you would have to sign up for the forum to receive the above pricing but its free:
SMS Marketing White Label Service - Adapp Media Forum
You can PM if you have other questions. Hope this helps.

Certainly Vince - Unfortunately the way Short Message Service is completely different in Europe than here in the US, which is why (at least as far as Im aware of) there is no US provider currently offering services in the UK. I do know they are planning a Canadian launch but that is basically our ugly cousin here in the US (Im just kidding Canadians/ I love Canada I have a mobile marketing forum I run and there are some UK members. I will see what kind of recommendations they give me and post what ever I find on this thread.

I am using Yeez.

SMS Reseller Program

Just contact Chris or Jay and they will help you with it all. Tell them I sent you.

They are great marketers not just SMS suppliers.

Q

I ran into YepText yesterday. Might want to check them out. YepText.com.

Alton, here's an example that might explain. Lime charges you 9.95 per active account, 1.5 cents per message, and 2.00 per additional keyword. If you add thirty active accounts that don't send a single message, your biil from Lime would be 298.50. Lime will add 1.50 to this and bill you $300. If you have 31 accounts tuat don't send a single message, your bill from Lime will be 308.45, so you've met the minimum volume requirement so all you will owe is the 308.45. Other providers will bill you the usage, 308.45 PLUS a $300 licensing fee.

This is wholesale pricing. You set your own retail price so you determine how much profit you want to make.

I signed up with yeptext but it was way to IM for me (I am an internet marketer, and so is Adam Horowitz, the owner, and it was pretty obvious that he was an IMer at heart, not an SMS provider). So I switched to Trumpia. I just got my merchant account up and running yesterday so I go live hopefully on Monday. The white label reseller program may be what you are looking for.

I am actually happy with YepText. It has worked great so far for me and I have had no tech issues that required their customer service as of yet. It is a little pricey, but imo it works totally fine. Also, you now get QR codes automatically generated for each yepword. I will say that local mobile monopoly was NOT worth $77, as it just goes over how to use yeptext in essence.

@kiwichamp - i see your in Texas too!

You said you would have trouble marketing "warrior" to a 10 digit number - i dont think you will.... i am in Texas too and tested the water for the first time with long codes last week and spoke to 4 businesses and signed them ALL up for different packages - i also up sold my QR code tracking service and sold two mobile websites...

Just for doing those sales pitches i made approximately $700/monthly in new recurring fees, $1000 in mobile web site sales and $400 in setup fees thats on top of everything else i do - so overall pretty pleased with last weeks meetings

I dont doubt i will continue to increase week to week with these figures as i rinse and repeat

You said "I think I would have trouble marketing that one." change your mindset - how do you know till you try? It's almost like you have failed the concept in your own mind already... when in fact you could potentially make some good $$ and provide a great service to other business owners.

I am using my own custom developed openvbx script with twilio and it works great

I guess i am lucky too that i have access to a newly launched private shortcode too so have the best of both worlds if i need access to either resource ie shortcodes/longcodes

typically when people call or text someone for the first time they usually have to enter the full number anyway... providing the call to action is in place and the service caters for the whats in it for me for the end user i don't see it being an issue to type in a few extra digits... besides that you can always use a QR code to pre-populate the sms message

i think you will find more people here in san antonio are more used to texting people on a regular telephone number and are more confused about whats a shortcode... just my observation...

i personally think the sales was more due to the dial in features... some people are still not comfortable with texting but calling... common now everyone knows how to make a phone call!

We have built our SMS platform from the ground up. We wrote it, we own and pay no fees to anyone except for messaging costs.Features= Admin panel, client login so they can completely manage their accounts, all the keywords you want no costs, you build the packages you want and set the price. System is CAN-SPAM compliant, sends single message to the list, create as many messages you want, clients can build unlimited messages to send, clients can build as many different lists as needed, cell numbers organized as master list, groups, special groups, and has a lead generation module and scheduling module. Runs on any host and is a full multi-user internet platform.
Delivered completely whitelabel, changeable graphics, your branding.
1. You do not rent this application you can actually purchase it, own it and run it the way you see fit.
2. Has the option for you to set up the client or you can let the client purchase it from you and do the install.
3.Unlimited client accounts,
4.This platform is only limited to what your hosting provider is limiting your hosting account to diskspace.
5. No hidden fees of any kind. Purchase it and it is yours.

PM me for more details

I am integrating with Twilio. And so far only long codes (real phone numbers) but Twilio says they are rolling out short codes in the near future. So far I really like the set up using OpenVBX. I can see that I will probably getting gotomeeting or something similar to show clients how to use. I already did a video to show one - how to navigate and set up messages

Why not have the business owner just send out messages to the list directly from their cell phone? It easy with OpenVBX. To be honest, I really don't want my clients "logging" into anything if they don't have to. If they learn how to do that, they could just shop around and find a cheaper service to log into and send out their messages.

I just set up the OpenVBX flows so that my clients are able to send out messages to a list from their cell phone. Use the dispatch portion of Chad Smith's subscription plugin within your SMS flow. Give the business owner's cell phone sole permission so that messages sent other than your subscribe keywords, are then dispatched directly to their list.

Just be sure they know to keep it to 160 characters, and to include the unsubscribe info at the end of the text message. Anyone else trying to send or reply on their number will get a message saying they don't have permission to do that. Works great.

The advantage of this method?

In their eyes, I stay the programming guru. It also makes it super easy for them, because they never have to log into dashboards, etc, they just send the message to the entire list right from their own cell phone. At 1 cent per message, just figure out your pricing accordingly so you make a hefty profit each month.

I've been looking at Avid mobile and Lime cellular lately. I'm liking Lime cellular right now.

OK....I've purchased OfflineMan's program, and that's probably what you're looking for....I've been impressed with it so far, so you might check it out.

I'm definitely interested to see what BrashImpact is coming out with....

Now....to you guys that are all "white label sms" groups. Just a suggestion for you....there's a BIG customer base on here and it doesn't seem like you're "getting" them...

Here's what I'm looking for....
1. White Label Selling SMS Services AND Management to my Clients
2. Allowing my Clients the Ability to manage their account if they want to...and if I WANT THEM TO!!!
3. Maintaining CONTROL of my clients accounts so they don't slit their own throats by sending out too many texts at once, etc...

Here's what I see you selling me:
1. White Label Platform where I sell them SMS
2. They get their own login and I tell them "good luck"....

I don't want to sell them on that.....I want them to paypal me money, and I want to set it up!!! I sure as he!! don't want them to have to learn a system unless they want to! I want to give them a frigging code to market, and give them a box of table tops with their code on it, and train them to tell their customers about it! I WANT TO BE IN CONTROL!!! I WANT TO BE THE "MAGIC"!!! I WANT TO BUILD THEIR LIST!!!

He!! ... If I didn't go with OfflineMan's MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, then I'd just take the cheapest reliable system, buy one keyword, and just add to it when I sold someone...just buying the keyword myself. No need for a "white-label" if I'm not even going to give them the login for it, right??

Now, once they've seen success with me, I want to give them a login and the ability to add a text or change one without me in the picture. If a restaurant is having a slow day, I want them to be able EVENTUALLY to login with ease, and send out a text right then once I've already established a list and the power of the system.

Does that make sense??? I'm not selling them "SMS".....I'm selling them a complete done for you managed campaign....which I build for them...thereby building long-term security for them. White-Label doesn't mean a thing to me unless I'm able to manage EVERYTHING if I want to, and then allow them to do so at the point that I feel that they won't screw everything up! If I went with a different provider, I wouldn't even give them login info. They would just know to market their SMS code, and then "magic happens"!!

OfflineMan is the ONLY one I've seen so far that's offering a comprehensive SMS Sales AND MANAGEMENT tool that allows this!!!

Jason

Jason, what you've described above is easily achievable with many systems out there... TXT180 would be one of them. Check their reseller program. I think Avid and Lime also have it available.

Questions? Call me direct. My number is listed on the website.

Maurice what's your email address? Thanks-

Got it emailed you thanks-

Maurice...what SMS provider are you using that we will be using if we buy your program? And is it short or long code? Thanks again-

Looks like Yadatext uses SMTP gateway? So it sends out text through email servers? Can subscriber call or text in a keyword to subscribe? Subscribers should be able to opt out by texting back a keyword to get out of the database. I would be somewhat leery about sending via email servers. Carriers can filter those out pretty quick.

For those of you who are interested in how the text gateways work, here is a link for you.

Got it Maurice thanks again. So other than the upfront $97 or whatever your software charge might be when I choose to buy it...how do you make money?

Yes enough disclosure for one post...thanks Mo!

Hi Maurice,

Just to be clear on the answer you have given russellprisco.

Would the person signing up via a mobile device, be sent an autoresponse with the offer attached (coupon or whatever) through your software?

Or would they be sent an autoresponse from our service (aweber,get response...)?, and subsequently sign up to the "system" on the page/email that was sent via aweber?

Thanks

Hi Russell ,
Trumpia SMS Texting service is good,this should do great for you. thanks.

Scarab

Could you send some details about the SMS platfom?

Russell, I appreciate your view of how to build an SMS platform. We take all recommendations seriously and we are NOT limiting ourselves to what we have built. To date we have added at lest 5 features suggested by those who HAVE purchased our product. We do have admin defined packages where the admin limits the number of messages, user chooses the package and they system auto-builds the package and it connects to PayPal.

Todate this platform has cost of 32K, dish out that kind of money and you find that you can't please everyone but you can please some. My point being if I make every single change every one suggested I would never have a platform to sell. By the time it was built and finished, guess what..... mobile devices will be gone and we will be communicating telepathically.

I am not trying to hard nosed at all ... currently we have 3 more modules in development and I feel that is enough to put into a new release. I have built more software than most on this board and I know how it's done, not by stopping the presses and changing direction but thru a planned process.

Limiting keywords is not planned, maybe it will maybe it won't. Again I appreciate everyone's view but two things I do not believe in,,,, paying a monthly rental fee for a piece of software and limiting an end user in the functions of the software in question. I can guarantee you that end users of SMS Platforms like unlimited keywords, after all it their business they are trying to promote.

SAR

Fair enough Steve =)

Just keep it in the back of your mind somewhere for later since the software does allow for us to charge our clients monthly, and if we can set the number of messages allowed to be sent, it just makes good sense to me that we'd also be able to set the number of keywords as well.

Also, would you be so kind as to shed some light on the modules in your update coming up? Eager to find out more,

Thanks a bunch

With YadaText you can now schedule your auto-responder to send new subscribers a predetermined text just like the short code systems. I've also made it available to review the back office admin panel through an online demo system. See the website for access info.

I've now got a test program set up where you can go in and play with all the features before making a decision. Please be courteous of other warriors trial lists and when you are finished, delete any lists you have created.

We've got 8 left at the current price.
