EasySMS2 Service Specific Terms and Conditions

The EasySMS2 service enables customers to have Desktop SMS functionality not dissimilar to Desktop email. It provides a simple text messaging service that is a very personal, and unobtrusive method of passing simple messages between PC's and Mobiles. Similar to e-mail, you type a message, enter the destination (a mobile number), then press Send. The message is sent to the destination handset in a matter of seconds.

The User will need to have a PC running Windows 98, NT or XP that has access to the Internet, ideally a constant connection. We will provide all the necessary executable files and installation instructions. However it will be the User's responsibility to install EasySMS2 and set up the Internet connection.

The EasySMS2 service is billed on a monthly basis for the number of SMS messages sent and there is a minimum charge per month.

EasySMS2 has the following features:

  • Group SMS send functionality
  • Reply from Mobile back to the PC.
  • Personal phonebook features with the ability to import numbers, from Outlook for example.
  • Template messages
  • Personal Signature Tool, to e.g. set your own mobile number as "Call back" option.
  • Automated split of messages containing more than 160 characters up to 600 Characters. Messages will be numbered 1/4 2/4 etc. (Note. A charge is applicable for each concatenated message.)
  • Sent message log and Overall Statistics, with delivery reports

It also enables automated messages to be sent from customer Servers or Alarm Systems by using the constant IP link to the SMSc.
