How to Send Your First SMS

Before you can run you must learn to walk! So to help you get started with TxtSync we have put together a simple guide that will get you up to speed with sending out your first text message.

When you first signup to TxtSync we place some free credit on to your account and provide you with free access to our shared numbers. The great news is you already have everything you need to send out your first message!

Let’s get down to business – before you can send out an SMS you need contact details, specifically a mobile phone number! That means the first thing to do is to create a contact within TxtSync

To create your contact you must first log in to TxtSync. Once done follow the steps below

• From the top navigation window, select Contacts > All Contacts

• Now click Add Contact.
• You will now need to fill out the required contact details. At a minimum TxtSync requires a First Name, Last Name, and a Phone Number. The phone number must also be capable of receiving text messages. 

• Once your contact is created click on View to open up your contact record.
• You will now be looking at the contact summary screen. The conversation tab will show you the sent and received text messages from the contact. At this point, there should be nothing displayed but we are about to change that.
• Below the conversation box, you will see the message composer. It is here that you can create your message, add emojis, weblinks, and images. Type in Hello World and select which number you would like to send from.

• Now all that is left to do is click the send button that your text message will be delivered shortly after.

Receiving text messages is very simple. All you need to do is text back into the original number that you set from. TxtSync will automatically log the received text message against the relevant contact. Also, a screen pop notification will trigger to inform you that you have received a message.

If you are happy with the TxtSync service and features your next set is to submit your account for approval from the TxtSync web application. A member of the TxtSync team will verify your account and check that you intend to use the text messaging service for legitimate purposes.

If we are happy with your use case your account will be approved. At this point, all that’s left for you to do is to add a payment method to your account and purchase some text credits and your very own dedicated number or Sender ID.
