It has been designed especially with enterprises with limited budgets in mind and provides a low cost solution for easy implementation of a variety of Mobile Marketing and Communications tools through SMS messaging.

Text messaging offers a reliable, efficient, fast, secure and economical means by which to communicate with key audiences, colleagues, customers and business partners in all industry sectors. Integrating SMS messaging into the overall Marketing and Communications Mix as an additional two way communication channel enhances interaction with all relevant stakeholders, thus improving customer experience, satisfaction and retention, and ultimately increasing sales.

Messagenie G20 enables users to send, receive and organize SMS messages using any commercial SIM card through an easy-to-use web-browser-based interface. It can be directly plugged in to a computer or a laptop (or to a Local Area Network for multiple users) and is ready to run out-of-the-box. Default features include receiving and sending SMS messages, sending to multiple recipients and contact groups, scheduled message delivery, phone book management, delivery reports, user account management and much more. Default functionality can be easily expanded through an ever increasing number of off-the-shelf or custom plugins.
In comparison to most common web-based mobile messaging solutions, Messagenie offers the benefit of mobility, security and reliability by not requiring an internet connection as the messages can be sent using a regular SIM card. Through an ever increasing number of expansion plugins that include lifetime updates, Messagenie enables users to upgrade their services over time depending on their needs and creativity. Custom plug-ins for specific purposes will also be available upon request. Applications of SMS messaging are virtually unlimited and as a solution Messagenie is ideal for small businesses, schools and universities, radio and TV stations, event organizers, bars and clubs, communities and retailers, to mention a few.

"Due to speed, flexibility and convenience SMS Messaging is still gaining ground as an increasingly preferred mobile marketing and communications channel by companies, customers and consumers alike.
