Why Txt Mobster ?

Cell Phone usage in the US has increased from 34 million to 203 million in the last ten years. More people have a cell phone than an internet connected PC in the US and around the world. There was a 107% increase in text message use in the USA from 2008 to 2009. 2.5 billion text messages (and growing) are sent each day in the USA. More text messages are sent per phone than phone calls.

How can my company benefit from Txt Mobster?

Whether you are marketing professional, large company, organization, church, musician, production company, real estate firm, insurance firm, car dealership, restaurant, club, promoter, DJ, or anyone else who needs the ability to effectively and directly communicate with groups of contacts, subscribers or members, there is no better way than mass text messaging.

Why? Because text messaging not only enables you to reach the user instantly , but also directly. Text messaging is 7-10 times more effective than emailing, myspace, facebook, and twitter.

How do I sign up? How does it work?

You can also text ñsignupî to 67553 to receive additional instructions.

The registration process only takes a matter of minutes.

How are text messages sent?

Text messages are sent via SMPP through our unique shortcode ñ67553î.

The short code is a 5 digit number that appears on the users phone when any text message is received. Users can also reply to your text message blasts by replying directly to the short code via text.

SMPP (shor-code).

Messages which are sent via SMTP typically take longer to receive and there is no guarantee on delivery. This is because SMTP utilizes mail server gateways which are not necessarily authorized to access wireless SMS gateway servers with high volumes of messages. This causes delayed deliveries, and dropped messages because SMTP servers are programmed to automatically greylist any host which sends an excess of messages through itÍs server. In other words the SMTP server identifies you as a spammer – regardless if your not. Once this happens either your messages are suspended and are queued for later delivery, or they go into a ñblack holeî which means the SMTP server does not respond with a delivery error allowing you to assume the message was successfully sent when instead it was simply deleted and will never be received.

SMPP or short code delivery is designed specifically for bulk SMS text message blasting.

One major different between SMPP (shortcode) and SMTP is that SMPP is a direct link to the wireless company where as SMTP is only a connection to a server which must connect to another server, and then another server, and so on before it finally reaches itÍs destination.

It is also difficult to support a large variety of wireless providers when using SMTP delivery because many wireless carriers change their SMS SMTP gateways or simply do not have one.

Where as a short code (SMPP) is a direct link to the wireless carrier, you are guaranteed direct delivery to the users cell phone.

Our short code supports over 800 different wireless carriers. A detailed list of supported carriers can be found at

Virtually every phone is supported.

How much does it cost? How does your pricing structure work?

Our pricing structure is based on how many messages you want to send.

Each text message is considered 1 credit.

So if you want to sent a text message blast to 500 cell phones, that is 500 credits.

Our rates are competitive and optimized for the little guy as well as larger companies.
