After all, with a 97% open rate, text messages are the fastest and most personal tool available to reach and engage users. Here are some examples of how you can use SMS and MMS text message APIs. Text alerts, ranging from confirmations to recalls, are the most common way people use SMS/MMS, but of course, there are so many other uses. How about creating a brand hero wall by collecting images from users through inbound text? Or promoting an app download by segmenting your mobile subscribers list by which OS the users have?
