New Developments @ HaloCom International

New Opt-Out SMS Feature

It is now possible for an SMS recipient who receives a message sent though HaloCom's Gateway, to reply with the word 'stop' to automatically be removed from the clients group list. The client will also be emailed to confirm that a 'stop' request has been received.

The recipients cell number will also be added to a 'blocked' list so that if the client inadvertently sends another SMS message to that subscriber again, the SMS message will be blocked.

This feature is in line with legal requirements in many countries to which HaloCom reach. Note that this feature is only available to the recipient if the client set the SMS message to 'repliable' when sending.

Mobile2Group Number Change

Please note that the number that you need to send your mobile2group messages to, has changed. Please use +447797803200 (note that you will need to include the + sign when sending from your mobile).
