Exciting New Localphone SMS Features
Thursday, November 5th, 2009We recently launched Localphone SMS—a service for sending cheap international SMS text messages. We’ve listened to your feedback and have added a number of new features to enhance the service.
SMS Your Direct Dial Contacts
Users in the UK can now send SMS messages to our Direct Dial numbers and the message will be forwarded on to the corresponding contact. There is no extra charge for using this service—just our standard SMS rates.
We are working to add this functionality to other countries as soon as possible.
SMS History
From now on any messages you send will be recorded and available on your SMS History page.
Receive SMS Messages on Your UK Incoming Numbers
If you have a Localphone Incoming Number in the UK you can now retrieve SMS messages too. When a friend sends a message to your number it will be displayed in your SMS History.
You can also send SMS’s from your Incoming Number when sending a Web SMS.
This added functionality comes at no extra charge and we hope to expand it to our Incoming Numbers in other countries soon.
New Number Verification Methods
Customers asked for alternative methods to SMS-enable Your Numbers so we have added the options to send or receive a verification code on your mobile. You can find out more information on this new feature on our SMS Verification page.
We hope you’ll enjoy these improvements to Localphone SMS. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any comments or suggestions about this or any other part of the Localphone service.
