There are several players on the market. Octopush offers comprehensive services for sending SMS in France and abroad. These specialists share other common features that we will introduce to you.

Text messaging is undoubtedly the most widely used form of mobile communication, surpassing phone calls. However, if you don't have a suitable mobile plan that includes unlimited SMS, your bill can quickly add up and exceed your budget. Octopush presents the various plans (SFR, Orange, etc.) and solutions for sending text messages to mobile phones worldwide. This helps you avoid a significant increase in your mobile bill if your current plan does not include unlimited texting.

The SMS plan for cost-effectively reaching your entire customer base

Depending on your industry, an SMS plan offers undeniable advantages over phone calls. Options for sending text messages via the Internet allow you to reach a much wider audience. The web enables you to send information in formats less restrictive than standard text messages and reach a very large audience at a lower cost.

The plan is ideal for businesses. It allows them to stay in touch with their entire customer database on their mobile phones, to send bulk SMS for their marketing campaigns, leveraging volume while maintaining the same quality of communication as an individual contact, thus keeping a personal touch that stands out from phone calls.

The various solutions for sending text messages from the internet

You may want to call a client living in a foreign country without it costing you too much. To overcome this recurring problem, websites offer the ability to send SMS to a mobile phone and make calls in France and abroad from any device with an internet connection. On most of these sites, you will find the option to send free messages, as well as offers that allow you to send a certain number of SMS per day or a subscription for calls at low prices. Some also offer the ability to create a mailing list from a web page and make calls for free or at attractive rates.

Faced with this competition, every mobile operator (SFR, Orange, Bouygues Telecom, etc.) now offers the ability to send unlimited SMS and MMS by logging into your Customer Account on their website, in addition to benefiting from unlimited calling solutions. You have the same capabilities as sending from a mobile phone: sending a message to multiple recipients at once, sending your messages immediately or scheduling them for later, etc.

With Bouygues Telecom, you can send up to 5 text messages and MMS per day to all mobile operators for free.

With SFR, via SFR Mail, you can send 10 free SMS and 10 free MMS per day to numbers on any French mobile operator network.

Sending SMS via the internet using professional platforms

For professionals and businesses in any industry, platforms offer solutions for sending messages professionally and without limits. These platforms offer various no-commitment plans that allow for mass SMS and MMS messaging at a lower cost for marketing, commercial, or promotional information campaigns. Texts are sent via the Internet directly to the recipient's mobile carrier.

SMS Plan: for sending texts without usage or time limits

The use of text messaging via unlimited plans is growing rapidly in the professional world, allowing businesses to reach their target audience anywhere and at any time on their mobile devices.

Consequently, every mobile carrier (SFR, Orange, Bouygues Télécom, Free, etc.) has included unlimited SMS and MMS plans in their unlimited calling packages, though these are often limited by time or restricted to specific sending hours.

In response, many providers and text messaging software companies now offer SMS plans with no time limits. The use of these bulk SMS plans is on the rise and is highly advantageous for businesses. In fact, as text volume increases, the cost per unit decreases, allowing companies to save money and stay within their marketing budgets.

Professionals can use their SMS plan without any time restrictions, whether regarding the number of calls or the volume of messages sent per day, per month, or throughout the entire year.

At the end of the year, all unused texts are rolled over, either upon request or automatically, depending on the platform. This prevents businesses from losing them and allows them to purchase message bundles at attractive prices, adapting their SMS campaigns to their needs without time constraints.
