Bulk SMS in the United Kingdom

SMS that gets read across the UK

UK consumers open texts within minutes, which is why SMS remains a high-performing channel for appointment reminders, delivery updates and consented marketing. The premium here is on deliverability and clean, PECR-compliant sending.

  • EE, O2, Vodafone, Three

    Direct routing into all major UK networks means your messages land reliably, whether it is a two-factor code or a booking reminder, with the throughput campaigns need at peak.

  • Alphanumeric sender IDs

    Send from a recognisable brand name rather than a number, so recipients trust the message — paired with clear opt-out, that lifts engagement on marketing and reduces missed transactional texts.

  • PECR and UK GDPR consent

    Marketing SMS in the UK runs on consent. We build opt-in capture and opt-out handling to PECR and UK GDPR standards, with pricing in pounds and an API your team can integrate quickly.
