Send SMS surveys to your customers

vurl:

You can send SMS surveys to customers using Textmagic SMS Survey functionality. Customers will receive your questions as text messages and can reply to each question individually. You will see the responses in the Textmagic web app and in SMS chat.

Please note: You need a Textmagic dedicated number to send an SMS survey. A dedicated number can be used for only one active SMS Survey at a time. If you need to have several surveys active simultaneously, you will need to buy more numbers.
