Ultimate WP SMS Pro

The Ultimate WP SMS (or UWS) WordPress SMS plugin provides a great way of connecting with your customers, blog subscribers or club members. This plugin allows you to send SMS, MMS and voice messages to a group or to individuals.

The Pro plugin is an upgrade to the Ultimate WP SMS Lite plugin, providing a whole host of extra features (see lite vs pro comparison).

To use this plugin you will need a Twilio account and number. If you don’t have a Twilio account, you can sign up for a free trial account, then see what the UWS plugin can do for you. Twilio’s charges are explained here.

As discussed in this article, SMS messages have “open rate” of 98%, i.e. 98% of all SMS messages sent, are opened by the recipient. This compares to only 22% of emails sent, so engage with your customers, by sending SMS messages from the UWS plugin.
