Introduction

In order to send Marketing SMS, you must have the Marketing SMS or All-in-One Multimedia Messaging Bundle subscription add-on.

There are additional SMS Features available on Gingr that are an add-on to the system SMS functionality. These include 2-Way SMS, Marketing SMS, and a bundle that also includes Multi-media Messaging, Canned SMS, and SMS Auto-Replies. Please see our articles Set Up 2-Way SMS and Canned Responses and Auto-Replies for more information.

Navigate to Left-hand Navigation: Admin » Manage Gingr Subscription and click Enable on the add-on you would like to subscribe to. Your billing period begins on the day that you enable this feature.

The following is the pricing structure for these additional features:

Marketing SMS
