Two weeks ago, I wanted to replace my two-way texting software (I was paying $199/month for Community) with the SMS-iT LTD.
Little did I know how at the time how much MOREI was going to get.
I did a 20-minute video overview of the items mentioned below that you can view here. https://youtu.be/fBvwMcCYfk4.
Current Pros (notwithstanding the future integrations included on the Roadmap):
-Onboarding hour-long Zoom call with the Developer. PRICELESS.
-SMS-iT is already registered with the FCC: SMS-iT FCC Registration
-Unlimited International messaging with Tier 3. No brainer.
-Piggybacks for free off the Sim Card of my Android. (I have a $5/month plan on my Android phone…see the video overview for details) https://youtu.be/fBvwMcCYfk4
-AppSumo LTD folks get free SMPP Accounts.
-Native Zapier and Pabbly integration
-Native integration with Dropbox, Shopify, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Salesforce, Slack, DocuSign, WordPress, and Google Calendar
-Multiple Merge Tag options and unlimited Keywords. For example: “Hi, %%Name%%! Have you registered for the seminar, yet? I'll be heading to %%City%% next week and you're close. Reply with the word STRESS and I'll get you signed up!”
-Text spinner so your bulk texts don’t get flagged as SPAM
-Appointment calendar, confirmation, cancelation, etc… All automated.
-Voice broadcast (just make sure when people sign up they know they may get a call, too!)
-Unlimited programable Autoresponders
-Unlimted Polls with charts and exportable results
-Contests with time limits, entry maximums, automated winners, etc…
-Q&A SMS Bots
-Dynamic Mobile Coupons with countdown timer and more. Example: My Coupon Example
-SMS Loyalty Program with punchcards, etc..
-Kiosk Bulider
-Automated Happy Birthday SMS wishes
-Mobile Page Builder
-Web signup widgets
-QR Codes creator
-Short links
-Non-GSM Character Checker
Cons:
-Clunky user interface (will be updated in Version 2.0 coming in Q3).
-Onboarding is a bit confusing, but schedule a one-on-one and they’ll guide you through it.
-Ummm…………
I've been pleased with most of my AppSumo deals, but this one BY FAR wins the prize for Best. Deal. Ever..

Awesome SMS text tool you don't want to miss.
I'm super excited about SMS-iT decentralized as a text solution.
You can do so many things with SMS-iT such as spinning messages, text polls, contact manager, voice broadcast, contests, Q&A SMS bot, auto birthday wishes, loyalty programs, QR code creator, and the list goes on!
IT'S NUTS! AND YOU'RE NUTS IF YOU LET THIS ONE PASS YOU BY.

Do not miss it
I was looking for a tool that would allow my customers to interact with my ecommerce site in new ways. I found this, and I am excited to try it out. SMSit has a variety of messaging features that are easy to use. I like that I can view message logs and manage the messaging center all in one place. This is a great place to start if you are looking for a communications tool that is affordable and simple to use.

This tool is a game change for SMS marketing.
SMS-IT can literally save you a bundle if your using other services for SMS marketing. I don’t need to cover the features as their all listed here, but I’m very glad I went full stack on this. You can use your Twilio account if you have a small list if you want, but for any larger lists, the ability to use your phone is a cost savings gamechanger. After talking with support, you just need a line that has unlimited text and voice, data not required.
So, I took an old android phone form a few years ago, spent 5 minutes getting it unlocked, and signed up for an unlimited voice and text no contract plan for $8 a month. That is literally my only cost going forward to have a way to send an unlimited amount of messages to people phones every month (I bought Tier 3 of SMS-IT), so I’ll never have to pay for Twilio or any other similar service.

Insane deal.
I've just finished an intro call with Mark and this platform is out of this world. I'm not an IT guy, but the amount of features it offers is just incredible.
Pros:
- lots and lots of features
- unlimited numbers
- high allowances with T1 and T2 (unlimited in T3!)
- great support, happy to jump on a zoom call for 30 mins as many times as we need!
- fast website
Cons:
- lots of features - I felt overwhelmed first few times when tried to configure basic things myself
- the UI/UX seems a bit old fashioned (but this is just my personal opinion)
In summary:
Buy this deal before it's too late (at least v. generous T1).
With the help of customer support you'll have your own marketing powerhouse in no time, which will save you big $$$ in the long run
ValueDrivenCoachRegular Customer
WOW - You'll never need another platform again
First and foremost let me say that the customer service and support is top notch! When you first log in you may feel overwhelmed by all of the features but DON'T BE! It's all SUPER EASY! A quick 10 minute walk through and you'll feel like a MASTER!!!!
Every now and then a product comes along that can change everything, THIS is that product.
I integrate with Twilio for my needs and every automation/connection tool has been 'decent' but SMS-iT IS AMAZING!!!!!!
- The SMS response automations are faster than any platform I've ever seen!
- The ability to add numbers quickly is mind blowing!
- The digital coupons...GORGEOUS!
- The VoiceMail Drops...OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!
If you don't grab this deal, you will 100% be kicking yourself when it's gone!!!
I recommend this to EVERYBODY EVERYBODY EVERYBODY!!!!
david_s_tech_cornerRegular Customer
The best tool you will ever need to get clients!
This might be the first review I leave here, and I am going to tell you why.
Unlimited.
This is why!
To get unlimited keywords and no limits for anything, and the sending of sms is 0.00 ,fixed, for life!
Damn!
I live in romania(where unlimited means that you still have to pay for these sms)
But for those that want to skip the noise of WhatsApp, this tool is GOLD!
Not a person who appreciates FOMO, but I do think that this might be more than just useful
lovekaiseiRegular Customer
IF YOU DON'T HAVE SMS IT IN YOUR MARKETING TOOLS... I'M SPEECHLESS!
This is my first review on Appsumo.
I don't know what to say about SMS IT. I've never seen anything like it.
I'm well aware of the new Blockchain and Metaverse trends and the fact this amazing tool is going to be integrated in the new Internet (Metaverse) is just mind blowing.
If you don't have it, get it. If you don't get it at this price when all the integrations happens I doubt the retail price will will stay the same.
There's lot of more to say about SMS it but you have to discover by yourself and adapt it to your business.
This is tool is genius!
RaiderRegular Customer
Blown away
I brought Tier 1 and will be upgrading.
This is a well-thought-out SMS service and beyond from A to Z. It really is a breath of fresh air when you’ve thought you’ve seen it all and it can’t get any better than this! Well, it just got better with SMSIT! I'm not joking! This is a really great product. I've seen SMS that can compete cost effectiveness wise but SMSIT blows them out the park. They've literally hit a home run with this and somehow manage to hit the ball again before it even touched the ground with their SMS IT CLOUD which you don’t need Twillo for.
The team is aligned, the brand is aligned, the services are aligned, and it will to get you aligned with whatever systems and processes you want to create for your sales process use of SMS. Everything you thought about they’ve thought about it (and more) and implemented it. I stood on a call for over an hour and I was beyond wowed! The walkthrough of the panels and dashboards are seamless I experience no interruptions. a 30-minute call turned into an hour and a half and the whole time I was having fun learning about all the features.
The team at SMS IT really knows what they are doing, they're on point they’ve made it so that you see them everywhere so you know they’re not going anywhere and here to stay. I can say so much more. You wait until you see for yourself!!
bhadreshdasRegular Customer
Amazing line of features..
I have interacted with the Founder of the platform and I am wowwed by the feautres and convenience that the platform is going to provide to marketers and companies alike. I am still learning and understanding the platform. But I believe that there will be a tutorials and walkthroughs for customers like me who is still rookie in technical stuff. I have given 5 tacos for vision the and the commitment the founder has shown around the platform.

This Is One Incredible Program
After signing up with a Level 2 pricing, I was asked to schedule a 30 min session with support so that they could make sure I understand the system. I have just spent nearly an hour on the phone with Henry, who is absolutely OUTSTANDING.
This program can do so much more than what we realize. And for those of you who worry about a sim card, use the SMPP option and get a Twilio or if you have a Twilio account use it.
I really did not want to mess around with a sim card or IOS but was able simply to hook up the system and run with it by using my Twilio account.
Furthermore, i have clients, and it is so easy to add sub accounts and then charge them for using it. I even like the idea that to get a new Twilio # i can do it IN the program. The team has thought of everything.
Thank you SMS-IT.
If you are not using sms, mms, and other things they offer, you need to start.
MBORegular Customer
SUPERB!
I had been looking for a SMS tool. I bought other SMS tools here but the closed down in a couple of months.
So, I decided to have a gal on this one. I can tell you that SMS-it is the best Twillo replacement I have ever used.
The best of all?
As it was mentioned here before! In 2 months: everyone on AppSmo will get free SMPP Accounts. We we'll get, 2-way, unlimited messaging worldwide and 100% guaranteed deliverability.
By the tests I have done, the tool works great.
The cons?
No native Zapper and Pabbly connect integration which is coming in 2 months time.
Have to use simcard ath the moment. Again, it will get sorted in 2 months time too.
Overall, the best SMS deal I have even seem here at AS.
Get it now before it is too late👍🏻
P.S. The support is SUPERB!
MY hope is that this guy's keep developing the tool and do not close down.
Jenny JonesRegular Customer
You might just be surprised
I have had SMS-IT since it first came out. I did not want to unlock the code or take the wrapper off until I knew exactly what it was and what it could do. Not many tools show up on the scene and say they are a Twilio replacement. In fact, I have never seen an LTD do that. I said to myself wait a minute what is it that you are doing SMS-IT? I was surprised to learn that what they are doing is nearly the same thing Twilio is doing and more. They are actually using the sim card in your android device and passing it through their gateway to connecting to your wireless carrier's backbone. Now does it do it a little unconventional, yeah but it works as advertised. Once you get past the onboarding and actually get an onboarding call like the one I got on Easter night. Yes, on Easter night they were working. (I was impressed and went back and max stacked after that. I shared a few marketing ideas that this tool can be used right out of the box.
You can find that here.
https://youtu.be/mrnUbqNfarY
Is the tool perfect? No not perfect but you can get a lot of marketing done in short order with this tool once you become familiar with the navigation.
Pros:
+ Truly is unlimited
+ More SMS marketing tools than you will probably ever use in your lifetime.
+ Tech Support is always willing to help
+ API is wide open
+ Can still use Twilio number as well.
Cons:
- No true sub-accounts. (*Well you can do sub-accounts but you share a portion of the same dashboard.) They say they are working on this.
- Onboarding is a little rough, but once you get past it better buckle your seatbelts.
FalconRegular Customer
Super Excited About the Possibilities
I just got Tier 3 - Unlimited
I've been looking for an SMS marketing solutions for a while and Im excited about this one because it is offering unlimited messages, which includes international numbers!
Right now, you can use the number they give you for free, to send SMS, or you can use twilio or an android phone to use the service.
In 2 months: everyone on AppSmo will get free SMPP Accounts! That means your own number!
That means 2-way, unlimited messaging worldwide with super-speed and 100% guaranteed deliverability, and also your own free, US number.
That means you won't need to use Twilio or a phone plan to have your own number!
I'm so excited about that! That means truly unlimited without any other costs.
You get:
Unlimited keywords - that's awesome.
Fax/voicemail via SMPP - in case you need docs or voice messages
Email Messaging - you can connect multiple different email marketing services.
Integrations so far: Zapier, Dropbox, Shopify, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Salesforce, Slack, DocuSign, WordPress, and Google Calendar
(4000+ apps through Zapier)
Based out of SF, Im excited to see where this goes and excited for the upcoming features!

Just spoke with the most helpful and caring founder (Henry) and indeed the product registration issues have been resolved, though it might be another 48 hours before I get to fully test this service. Since my review was based on customer support issues, I feel those have been completely resolved, thus my Taco upgrade.

You only need to use your phone to have an unlimited promotion machine, that's really cool

Move Over Twilio
Innovative, fast, and cost-effective, SMS-iT Decentralized is a great alternative to Twilio to manage my business communications. Its easy-to-use interface makes it possible for anyone to send text messages from their computer or phone without the need for expensive hardware or high repeat SMS credits payments!

Out of this world SMS
I had an hour chat with the team and was simply blown away. There are many things here that are amazing and I think they should document them on youtube videos as it is easy to miss.
I will highlight the things that are important to me but please note that it cannot do justice to the amount of work and the features added by the team and they will do well to document them in short videos.
1. Smart Tools
Mobile Page Builder - this is a really great tool similar to Mobiz ( another appsumo deal) Q & A - you can set SMS Q&A with autoresponder to help you get and segment your customers better Auto Birthday wishes etc - just look under the "Smart Tools"
2. OTP - this is a very cost-efficient option compared to other tools
3. Using custom information to make the text personal, I am not talking about the usual first name, last name , you can add a separate note for example individual affiliate code or coupon, you can also separate by location.
4. I know a lot of you have VBOUT (appsumo deal) and they are planning integrate it with others which will make this the ultimate marketing machine. It is an injustice to see this as a small sms tool.
5. Automated order updates.
Lastly, support is amazing. I went on the site and have had a lot of my issues solved in no time. I also use CSCart and they are looking to integrate that for order updates so what's not to love?
Do yourself a favour and get the deal while you can.

Awesome Responses So Far
I'm going to be honest. I'm very new to the world of Twillio and SMPP. But one thing I know, is that when you scale and grow, these services can end up costing businesses tens of thousands of dollars a month.
So seeing this lifetime deal, I was definitely curious. But what got me excited is that a deal-breaker feature request has already gone into planning so quickly. The response and feedback from the SMS-iT team has been fantastic and I truly hope it doesn't stop now that I've purchased the deal.
I'm super excited to get to learn more about this. I'm sure the Tutorials section will quickly grow to allow all new users from any stage unleash the power of this platform.

Sms-it is 🔥

I was looking for a SMS solution for a long time.
I am lucky enough found SMSiT here on AppSumo.
Thank you so much for bring this outstanding product to us.
So glad to be on board.
The support team was very supportive before I made the purchase, and I am sure they will be more supportive after I became their real customer.
The potential for this tool is huuuge.
Can't wait to dive into the tool.
Grab it before too late.

Finally! An SMS tool to rival Twilio!
I'm putting my review here as well (has more details):
My Review at ArchBee
Okay, first I'm a noob with SMS services.
I have never used Twilio (but I've been registered for a year or two). But have always wanted to be able to use an SMS service. I'm an odd duck and always wanna try something other than the mainstream services/tools ("Stay weird," Sumolings! :'p)
So this is awesome. A Twilio replacement. And it's not just SMS. It's got e-mail and voice. And 2-way messaging :'o For several platforms... WhatsApp, Messenger, et al.
Just a short list of what I'm excited about here (these were mostly in the comments or Q&A section):
-Not limited to SMS (has email, chat services like Messenger) :'o
-Add unlimited numbers
-Send unlimited messages
-Send messages to all countries :'o (https://appsumo.com/products/sms-it-decentralized/#q832010)
-Does not need Twilio or similar platform (it's a standalone alternative/competitor)
-Does not need a SIM card :'o
-SMS rates cheaper than Twilio
I wanna use this for personal stuff as well. In fact I went outside today and bought a roaming SIM for the Philippines because I needed a Philippine number. See, I registered for Internet service for my parents in the Philippines and I had to pay online. Turns out, my credit/debit cards don't work there. It's mind-bogglingly lame. So I had to register for a Payment service there that requires a local-Philippine number.
I hope this helps someone. 🤟🖖✌️

Beats All SMS marketing so far
I just started to use the product and I am very impressed with what I do.
I even started to use the API as part of a automation flow with pablly.
you wont be disappointed !
ConnelSandersRegular Customer
Impressed so far
We are currently testing SMS-iT mainly for transactional SMS and MMS messages using the device gateway. So far I'm very impressed with the performance.
Group Messaging, Message Templates, and scheduling all appear to be working reliably.
The API works well with no significant lag.
The web signup widget looks like a great idea for those not technically minded.
Group opt-in via keyword reply is a brilliant feature.

Be ready to experience "a coming to Jesus moment"
Be ready to experience "a coming to Jesus moment" after buying this deal!
Because this deal will SAVE your Business Life for the eternity AKA Lifetime.
I'm a very simple sumoling, when I wake up I do not open Facebook, Instagram, TikTok I open appusumo. This is my fucking first 5 tacos and comment here and I'm a paranoid schizophrenia maniac type of sumoling.
This deal will make you Money and Save your Life.
Which would you prefer an insane lifetime deal or an insane lifetime regret?
I can't put into words how much I'm grateful for the generosity of Mark, the man, the genius behind this product.
For the very first time, I've found a product that has everything you need to run successful smart SMS campaigns and boost conversions WITHOUT all the unnecessary flashy things that NO real business owner cares about.
I fell in love with mobile coupons, text loyalty programs, and RCS messaging.
If you're a smart marketer, experienced agency owner, or ambitious businessman then full-stack this deal, or die! Period.

The cheap price of the Decentralized Version made me choose it. I used the instructions that you receive once you sign up, to set up my gateway with an Android phone I bought from MetroPCS. I spent roughly 10minutes completing the whole configuration process. At the end, it was more than worth it! Highly recommended!
Kamaree EnterprisesRegular Customer
I didn’t realize that the decentralized version could send out 30,000 messages within few hours. It blew my mind! I wonder how fast the Cloud Version would be, since it has Super Speed. This platform keeps blowing away my mind, as I keep finding out the power of its inbuilt features.

The 38 features available are a lot! You must have spent years developing this platform. Anyway, I just wanted to say “kudos” to the powerful features. I used the QR code engine to create QR codes with the logo of my company in the middle, and then used it in my campaign and print materials. Amazing results. I already began marketing your affiliate link on my website, to tell my network all about this smart platform.

I have been using SMS marketing for over 10years now, and this platform is truly different. Upgrading your plans is just with a few clicks. Same as buying additional numbers, sending out campaigns or using the features. Great job. Count me in as a loyal customer.
