DirectSMS offers all year round a bulk SMS service through its British centre. A range of valued features outlined in the comparative survey, our DirectSMS review found this company is worthy of consideration. However, unlike other bulk text message providers, the optional extra charge for developer API needs to be taken into account.
However, their pricing is the most expensive by up to 20% in comparison to other British competitors in the bulk SMS domain and this matter needs to be considered prior to engaging DirectSMS. Having a limited 15-day free trial and no keyword response SMS feature are some factors that need to be considered by any prospective client.
