Why Australian businesses choose bulk SMS
One campaign reaches 10 or 10,000 Australian numbers in minutes. Each text is personalised with the customer's name, sent under your brand, and tracked from delivery to reply.Event reminders that fill the room. Flash sales that sell out by the afternoon. Order updates customers actually read. Whatever the message, it goes out in one send, with opt-outs and compliance handled in the background.
Texting is transforming the way businesses communicate
SMS consistently outperforms email for urgent business communication.
Text messaging is the most widely used communication channel in the world.
SMS drives up to 8x more clicks and replies than email marketing.
Text reminders are extremely effective at preventing missed appointments.
Engage every audience with targeted bulk SMS
Compliant SMS for Australian businesses
Consent, sender identification, a working unsubscribe: the Spam Act's three rules, built into every campaign.
- Transparent consent management: Use our SMS subscribe forms to collect recipient consent.
- Message data security: Your text data is encrypted and securely stored.
- Automatic opt-out handling: Manage recipient preferences with built-in opt-out features.
- ACMA sender ID registration: Register directly from your Textmagic account, so texts show your brand, not 'Unverified.'

Bulk text messaging FAQs
Everything you need to know about bulk SMS services in Australia.
You'll need a sender: either a dedicated Australian virtual number, or a custom sender ID, which requires approval and ACMA registration before you can start sending. For detailed steps, check out our support guide on texting in Australia.
To purchase and set up a dedicated virtual number with Textmagic:
- Step #1: Log in to your Textmagic account and go to Services → Sender Settings → Numbers.
- Step #2: Click Buy new number.
- Step #3: Select the desired country and choose your number from the available list. The monthly price is shown automatically.
- Step #4: Assign the number to the appropriate account.
- Step #5: Click Activate number and configure call forwarding if needed.
- Step #6: Hit Continue to complete the setup.
Once activated, you can send and receive messages on your Australian virtual number — no ACMA registration needed for numbers.
To apply for a Sender ID in your Textmagic account:
- Step #1: Log in and go to Services → Sender Settings → Sender IDs.
- Step #2: Click Apply for a Sender ID.
- Step #3: Enter your desired Sender ID (up to 11 characters, letters and numbers only) and briefly explain how you'll use it.
- Step #4: Make sure the Sender ID is clearly related to your business name (it cannot be generic or unrelated).
- Step #5: Click Apply now to submit your request.
- Step #6: Complete ACMA registration when prompted.
Once approved and registered, you can send one-way outbound SMS to Australian mobile numbers using your Sender ID as the sender name. If you need customers to reply, use a dedicated virtual number instead.
To send multiple messages at once using Textmagic:
- Step #1: Log in to your Textmagic account.
- Step #2: Go to Compose
- Step #3: Add recipients manually, upload a file, or select a saved contact list.
- Step #4: Write your message. You can use dynamic fields and templates to personalise each SMS.
- Step #5: Choose to send it immediately or schedule it for later.
- Step #6: Click Send to launch your broadcast.
You can then track delivery and replies for the whole campaign in real time.
Yes. Textmagic allows you to schedule messages for specific dates and times, so you can prepare and automate your SMS campaigns. This is useful for appointment reminders, event announcements, or marketing messages that need to go out at optimal times.
Textmagic automatically tracks and processes opt-out requests. When a recipient replies with a keyword like STOP, they are instantly added to your unsubscribe list and won’t receive future messages.
You can view and manage opt-outs by going to Contacts → Unsubscribed. From there, you can review details or manually remove contacts if needed. This helps you stay compliant and respect customer preferences effortlessly.
