How can I configure voice call forwarding for my emergency numbers?
Apart from an emergency SMS service system, you should also provide voice call forwarding. Here’s how you can quickly configure voice with Textmagic:
Step #1: Log in to your Textmagic account or sign up for a free trial. Add credit to your account and purchase a dedicated number from Services → Numbers.
Step #2: Select the number that you want your inbound calls to be. Click on the small gear under the “Actions” column and then on “Activate Call Forwarding” Textmagic will calculate your cost per minute.
Step #3: Record a personalized audio greeting and add it to your forwarding number. Click on Next, wait a few seconds for the number to become active and, then, click Finish.
Can I see how many people saw my text?
Of course, Textmagic offers a dedicated Reporting & Analytics tab. From here, you can check the total number of messages sent and received, delivery rate, reply rate, and many more. You can also view the status of individual texts from your SMS chat. Just click on the small arrow over a message and then on “message details”.
What kind of information should my SMS emergency response plan share?
We recommend automating all texts relating to your ERP. In most situations, people will contact you for more info on how to act, who to contact, or where to go. Here are a few messages that you can automate:
- List with people of contact and their numbers.
- Additional safety information as SMS attachment.
- Actions required to mitigate danger and maintain safety.
- Other texts depending on the type of emergency that you are facing.
