SMSGATEZ is provides a service to deliver your SMS messages to your contact list with no guarantee.
There are many reasons that campaigns fail to have good conversion (ROI). Top reasons would include the quality of the data you are sending, contacts have agreed to receive messaging from you, and the content of the message you are sending.
First step to troubleshooting this is to make sure that your virtual number or SIM number is not blocked by the relevant provider. You can test this by sending to a mobile phone that is not on your account via the Gatez Cloud. If you are still unsuccessful and you are using a SIM please change the Default SMS Application back to the Native SMS Application on your mobile device and try sending a message to and from your mobile SIM. If this fails you will need to replace your SIM as it is most likely blocked by your provider.
Please check the email address you used to sign up for your account and check the password.

We do not offer routes for messaging. If you are looking for a managed route you may find what you are looking for if you qualify for an invite to our leased SIM option. We will host an Android SIM device for $100 per device. This device is then synced to your SMSGatez Cloud Account. You can check with our support desk if you qualify.
If your account runs out of credits your account will no longer be able to send messages, or respond to keywords automatically. If your account remains in an ‘out of credit’ status, your will be removed from your account and unable to be retrieved.
We recommend not over 100K contacts per campaign group. Smaller groups are easier to manage in case there are issues with your send and you cannot resume the campaign, then it is easier to determine who may not have received the campaign message.
We unfortunately are not a storage resource to store your data. We have a limitation of 25 MB per account. If your account is dormant for 90 days we reserve the right to delete contacts, groups and responses from our servers. We will never share your account information or your data with others.
We do not have monthly subscriptions for managed routes, instead you will purchase credits as needed for your account in blocks.
Multiple computers and browser tabs may be open on the same account. Users will use the same account credentials. If you are using a Virtual Assistant to manage your Gatez account, we need to have authorization to speak with the Virtual Assistant regarding your account. Please let us know in advance if someone is approved to speak on your behalf.
That is currently not an option at this time. Each type of account would need its own individual account.
Leased Android SIM Sync are dedicated devices that are managed by our staff. Dedicated Android devices will have the latest SMSGATEZ APK, and synced to your SMSGATEZ Cloud.

Leased devices are maintained on the account and will be available 24/7 allowing responses to to be sent/received. Of course, we do not suggest sending marketing messages outside of TCPA compliant hours.
There are many SMS Providers to be found. If you are sending ‘volume’ (lots of texts ie 100K to 1M), it may be worth looking into a wholesale route. But now you need to either find a developer to build an application to send your messages or if you are handy with coding you can build your own. You have to ask if that is worth the time or money to invest vs. finding a service that gives you access to a GUI without rebuilding the wheel. We introduce you to SMS GATEZ.
Google is a great place to start. There are many routes that are available. Some of the most popular that we work with are Signal Wire, Telnyx, Twilio, Nexmo, Gorilla, and Thinq to name just a few.
Yes! You can have as many provider routes as you want added to your account. Note: There is a one time integration fee of $399.99 per route. Each route may take up to 7 days to integrate into our SMS Gatez Cloud.
No! We have a development team that will integrate each route at a cost of $399.99. This includes the testing and set up to make sure that the account is set up to send and receive messages.

No! The monthly subscription will cover the cost of the server, updates and maintenance of your SMSGATEZ account and support of our product. Questions regarding delivery and billing with your chosen SMS Service Provider will be answered via their support.
Our staff works hard to make sure that your account is functioning correctly and that your messages are delivering properly. This also covers all updates and upgrades that you may need. Obviously we are not miracle workers but we are here for you to help with messaging, best practices, and working through the tough stuff. Monthly maintenance fee is valued at $199.99 per month.
Keywords are used in the campaign to create conversational messaging. We can create multiple responder/keywords which allows you to free up the time you spend on the phone answering common questions about your business,
Responders are the responses that are triggered when a contact replies back to your message with an assigned keyword. You can have as many Responders as needed.
Templates can be created to keep your campaign messages organized and available on the Cloud when needed.
Unlimited Import/Export makes it convenient when you might be working on multiple computers at different locations. As long as your account has an active subscription or credit on the account your data is safe. Data groups should be no more than 100K contacts per CSV file.
Double Opt In adds the additional step to messaging opt
Conversational messaging means creating a dialogue with the customer which in turn builds the business relationship. This is a great strategy to engage your customer bringing you closer to the sale.
Spintax comes from the word “spinning syntax.” This is just one of several features that keep your campaign compliant and off the mobile carriers spam filters. The more creative you can be the more variation.
An example we use often is “Hi How are you?”
When we select Spin, we are offered an output of syntax:
{Hi|Hello|Hi there} How {are you|are you currently|have you been}?
Select Preview and we will see the variations.
1. Hi there How are you currently? (31)
2. Hello How are you currently? (28)
3. Hi there How have you been? (27)
4. Hi How are you currently? (25)
5. Hello How have you been? (24)

Setup autoresponders to automatically send SMS back to the subscribed individuals/opt ins after they have replied with a keyword response.
When keyword is implemented then the subscriber/contact is moved to another group for further messaging.
