"We initially moved to The SMS Works due to the great value package they offer, both in overall cost and not charging for undelivered texts. Over the last year we have found their support to be excellent, nothing is too much trouble and their response time is very impressive. Their developers have worked closely with us to provide a robust implementation of their service for our own B2B customer base."
