What happens if someone gets two messages from TextMagic and then replies?

This question is often asked.

So what happens when two people using TextMagic send a text to the same mobile and then that person replies, where does the repy go?  The answer is simple, when they reply it always goes to the most recent person who sent them a text.

To illustrate:

A sends to mobile X
B sends to mobile X
If X replies then the reply will be sent to B

This rarely causes a problem, but you need to understand that it might. This is why we call it a reply service, and why we advise putting your name in the text message.

If several people in your office reguarly send texts to the same group of field-based people, then make them aware that replies will go to whoever sent them the most recent text.

If you find this doesn't work for you, or might lead to problems then remember you can always change your account so that replies are sent to your mobile.

What are SMS credits?

The cost for sending a text message depends on the country to which you’re sending. The prices shown are for sending to the country you've selected. If you plan to send to more than one country, please select each country from the list to see how the cost varies.

We use a credit system to help us calculate how many text messages you have left. For example, 100 SMS credits will allow you to send 125 text messages to the UK or 200 text messages to Sweden.

Long text messages over 160 characters also use more credits. Do not worry though, we calculate the number of credits before you send a message with our online SMS products.

If you decide to cancel your account after your first purchase we will send you a refund for your unused SMS credits.
