Picture messaging explained
What is Picture SMS?
Picture SMS combines the direct reach of a text message with visual content. The recipient receives an SMS containing a secure link that opens your hosted image and message in a mobile browser.
2
Send the SMS link
Your customer receives a concise SMS with a unique link that opens the picture message without requiring a special app.
3
Measure engagement
Track visits to the hosted picture message for better visibility than an ordinary untracked attachment.
