Yes! It might surprise you how much more effective texting is over email.

You’ve probably even gotten text messages from DoorDash (a SlickText brand like us), restaurants, churches, or other businesses.

Check out these numbers reported by Forbes Magazine:

“SMS has a staggering 98% open rate. That’s 3.7x more than the 26.8% open rate for email and 12.5x more than the 7.8% open rate for push notifications.” “Most people (90%) respond to SMS messages within 30 minutes.”

SlickText offers a wide range of tools at a low cost of entry in comparison to other SMS services that do less, and cost more.

The platform is easy-to-use, highly customizable, and very accessible. Use the services on a web browser or in the SlickText app.

At Flying Fox Solutions, we are happy to help you use the platform at its greatest potential, but SlickText also has robust, built-in, human help.

SlickText has a tiered payment system: the more credits you buy in bulk, the cheaper the cost per message for you.

We do the same thing. We buy large numbers of credits in bulk, and then we pass the savings down to you.

SlickText’s smallest package offers clients 500 credits for $29/month, which comes out to about 5.8 cents per credit.

Suppose you’re not going to use 500 credits, or you’re just hosting an event one time? We can set you up with our Essentials Package, which allows you to pay only for the credits you use, at 4 cents per credit.

This package, and our other packages, will always be cheaper than choosing one of SlickText’s current monthly plans.

In addition, depending on your plan, we throw in some other services, like website and app integrations.

Each message credit is equal to one industry standard SMS message segment to one subscriber. An SMS message segment contains 160 characters. An MMS (message sent with an image or other supported file types) consumes 3 message credits per segment. However, an MMS message segment can contain up to 1,600 characters.

You’re only ever charged for messages you send, not for those you receive.
