Anyone know a good sms/text message plugin for WP?

Celeste Green · 21st Dec 2012, 03:35 PM

I want to add a form to my Wordpress site to allow visitors to send me a message via text. Ideally I want to capture their mobile # too so I can reply via text. I can't find any Wordpress plugins, or at least I can't manage to get any to work. Has anyone had success implementing something like this? I'm not a coder.

Thanks!

Hi Celeste, would you be using Twilio to send the SMS message or someone else? I have something similar that's standalone but could be easily adapted for WordPress.

Let me know.

Cheers,

Jay

Also check if your reseller has code to place on your site. The reseller I have allows me to put a TXT message sign up form on my site.

Do you try servage.net
After you pay for hosting, you got SMS gateway API , you can send SMS, but you have to purchase credits

Check out Chad Wyatt's WSO's He has designed wordpress to interface with Twilio accounts. I have set these up and they work real well.

Andrew Mitchell had a WSO last week with a pop up form that would
allow your users to opt-in to your SMS.... and then they would be
added to your account over at SignalHQ.

Looked pretty easy to me.

kind regards,

Hugh

I do this now with my clients but its more for building lists, not getting sms messages myself. That's a cool idea though. What I do is tie the popup form (using a free popup wp plugin) to an openvbx flow. Visitor enters their phone number to opt in and they get saved into a database and SMS reply is sent to their phone. You can see an example popup at Hair Salon Grand Rapids, MI | Sorella Hair Design | 49546

Are you just looking for an Open API to connect with Wordpress?

Hi Jay, I've got Jump Mobi and I'm looking for a SMS platform that will a) serve as an appointment reminder and b) do broadcast messages. Could you PM me please?

Thanks,
Andy
