Office Controller
“TextMagic allowed us to send and receive information to drivers and engineers all from one set point. It's much easier than different members of the office staff sending instructions on their mobiles and then when they leave the office we do not have a data trail.”

Step #2: Add SMS recipients to your SMS distribution list by manually inserting numbers or contacts or by choosing from your pre-defined lists or recently sent texts.
Step #3: Select the information that you want to include in the SMS content, maximum length and sender information. Once the list is complete, click Continue.
Step #4: Now set up forwarding in your email application.
Step #5: You can also send the same SMS to your distribution list using TextMagic’s email to SMS service. Simply copy and paste the dedicated email every time you create a new text message in your email service.

For more details on delivery status, simply click on the report. Delivered, accepted, failed and rejected texts will be displayed in corresponding tabs.
Navigate to the History tab from the TextMagic dashboard and click on the Status report. You can view the total cost in the Summary tab. You can also check out the cost of each SMS from the Delivered, Accepted, Failed and Rejected tabs.
