What is our Text Messaging service?
Our Text Messaging platform makes it easy to start a text message campaign in mere minutes. You can log in to the web-based administrative platform at any time to create and modify text messages, send a message, or set a future alert, and all updates you make are available immediately. We give you all the tools you need: the short code (carriers charge you $6,000 a year for this; we include it at no charge), a primary keyword, unlimited secondary keywords, and all the reporting you will need.
How does your audience use Text Messaging?
The popularity of cell phones, and Smartphones in particular, creates a unique opportunity to make your message more accessible and instantly connect with your audience.
Mobile marketing means staying in touch, promoting your brand and keeping your audience informed. With a simple text message, you can send updates, draw feedback and build an ongoing dialogue to increase the visibility of your brand. Or tap into the mobile websites with a MOBI site, where you can include links and any number of multimedia content to make your message accessible to people on the go.
Texting is the most powerful of all mobile tools today. That is because practically everyone knows how to text, it is either free or almost free to most users, and it is immediate. You don’t need to make a call or enter a web address in a browser. Just text and get a response.
Why use Text Messaging?
With a simple text message, you can reach out to your employees with meeting reminders, sales updates and engage in a live Q&A dialogue with your employees.
Let your employees reach out to you for information when they need it. They can text in a designated keyword to trigger preset messages with event schedules, company policies and any other information your employees might need on-the-fly.
Our robust reporting feature allows you to log in to our platform and view reports of all incoming and outgoing text messages, including time, date and content of each message. All reports are easily exportable to PDF or Excel.

“Train by Cell was very helpful in preparing more than 200 volunteers to support the Blanton Museum of Art’s celebration of its 50th anniversary. I worked with colleagues in visitor services to provide basic information about our volunteer needs and expectations. The structure provided—and outstanding customer support—made it fast and intuitive to put together instructions, images, and Youtube videos. I really enjoyed creating the content, and our volunteers did a great job helping us host some 10,000 visitors!
Although I don’t consider myself particularly “tech-savvy,” I actually enjoyed working with Train by Cell to prepare volunteers for our museum’s recent 50th anniversary celebration. The process was intuitive– easy to change and update, right to the last minute. I tried to make it very visual and fun to use, adding photos of staff and works of art that inspired the hands-on activities. The Quiz function was also really fun—but it made it clear that we expected our volunteers to show up informed and ready for the big day!
Asking volunteers to come to the museum for an orientation session adds significant time and effort, while getting the relevant information on their cell phone resulted in a much higher percentage of volunteers who understood our needs and expectations. Train by Cell made it easy for me to communicate information about a complicated community celebration in which we hosted 10,000 visitors in twelve hours. Now I’m thinking about how it can support our docent training course!”
