SMS-Only Focus
ClickSend is a multi-channel platform covering post, fax, email, and more. We focus exclusively on SMS — meaning a faster, more reliable messaging platform with better rates.
ClickSend spreads itself thin across multiple channels. BulkSMSRates is laser-focused on SMS — meaning better rates, better uptime, and a platform built specifically for high-volume messaging.
