What is business SMS?
Business SMS refers to the use of SMS messaging for commercial, operational, or support-related communication.
Unlike personal texting, Business SMS is built for scale, automation, and reliability. You can use Business SMS to confirm appointments, deliver OTPs, run flash sales, or notify customers about service changes directly to their mobile phones. With SMSFlow, you also get access to branded sender IDs, dedicated short codes, and two-way replies for richer engagement.
Use it to:
Send delivery or service notifications
Run time-sensitive campaigns
Share OTPs and system alerts
Confirm bookings or appointments
Keep teams informed, fast
Why business SMS works so well
Business SMS is instant. Messages are read within minutes, often seconds, unlike emails that get lost in crowded inboxes. With a 98% open rate, SMS outperforms email by far. It’s also POPIA-compliant, mobile-friendly, and ideal for both once-off alerts and ongoing campaigns.
Business SMS for customer engagement
Business SMS helps you stay top-of-mind with personalised, timely messages — like birthday offers, shipping updates, or service reminders. Use segmentation and timing tools in the SMSFlow Portal, or trigger messages via API to reach your audience at the perfect moment.
Use cases for business SMS
The power of Business SMS stretches across industries. Use it for:
Banking: Send PIN codes, fraud alerts, or account updates
Retail: Promote sales or alert customers about restocks
Healthcare: Confirm appointments and send reminders
Education: Share timetable updates or fee notifications
Logistics: Provide real-time delivery alerts
With SMSFlow, Business SMS campaigns can be automated, tracked, and managed in bulk; no technical skills required.
