SMS Texting Services

SMS Texting Services are now available through RTO Pro. The texting services allow you to send SMS text messages to your customers or to any mobile phone number you specify. You are able to send and receive texts. The recipient of your text can simply reply back to your text and you will receive the reply.

  • Text Messages canbe sent from:
  • On Screen Account Manager
  • Automated Collections Module
  • Payment Screen
  • SMS Text Control Panel
  • Send form Text Messages from Customer Listing and Overdue Customer reports
  • Send invoices by text message, with quickpay links for online payment.
  • The texting service can be used for promotion or collections.

Text messaging is great for collections, many times a customer will not return a phone call but will reply to a text message. Our users who have signed up for this service tell us it makes collections much easier.

If you use the RTO Pro Webpay Service you can send text messages with a "Quickpay" link the customer can click to pay online, without needing to create a login. This is very convenient for customers and a great collection tool!

Requirements: A computer, RTO Pro and internet access... nothing else, no mobile phone equipment needed.

The pricing above is per text phone number and outgoing and incoming texts count toward totals. Multiple locations can share a single text number or each location can have their own. All SMS Text accounts are paid monthly in advance and must be setup to be paid automatically monthly by credit card or ACH debit on the last day of each month.

Your texting account can be set up for overage billing, so if you go over your alloted text count you can keep sending texts and are billed your per text rate for any overage.

Please note OUTGOING SMS Text Messages are limited to 160 characters. Incoming text messages can be any length, but will be split into multiple 160 character messages, and you are charged for every message. So for instance an incoming message with 200 characters would be charged as 2 text messages.

Introducing Account Messenger Mobile App / Messaging Service

Account Messenger Mobile App Messaging Service is available now! This service sends messages to your customers through Android or IOS mobile apps, that are available to install through the Android Play Store and the Apple App store.

When you enable this service any SMS message sent will be sent to the customers app if they have registered their number in the app, or sent by normal SMS if they are not registered in the app.
  • Advantages of Account Messenger messages vs SMS:
  • Only 2 cents per message, no matter how long the message is (vs per text fee per 160 characters)
  • If the customer has installed the app we know if the message has been received and read, with SMS there is no way to accurately tell if a message was delivered or viewed.
  • No need to worry about your text number being blocked or blacklisted by a carrier, if your customer has the app they will get the message.
  • The messaging app has webpay quickpay link built in, so if you use webpay it makes it easy for the customer to pay you online.
  • Messages are sent through RTO Pro the same as SMS Texts, no need to change your processes to start using the Account Messenger Service App
  • Easy for your customers to find and install the app from the website www.accountmessenger.com
  • No "Opt Out" requirements, opt out messaging is not included with messages sent using the Account Messenger Service
