EZ Texting is easy and a great way to communicate with our customers. And if I ever have any questions or issues, their customer service and support is outstanding! We are able to stay closer to the customer and answer many of their questions before the day starts.

We primarily use the MMS feature and have seen double to sometimes triple the response rate from shoppers. We have seen a 100% click rate on links sent when using MMS over regular live type messaging.

The interface is incredibly straightforward, making it easy to set up and manage text messaging campaigns quickly. EZ Texting is helping us overcome low engagement in our marketing efforts. The significantly higher open rates for SMS compared to email have made a noticeable difference in how quickly and effectively we reach our audience. It’s been a game-changer for timely promotions and urgent updates.

We love EZ Texting! It's so simple even the computer-challenged can handle it. It's quick and I like the AI function to help change up messaging at times. I have recommended it to many other organizations looking for a texting solution that does not break the bank.

EZ Texting was the easiest and most cost-effective stand-alone texting software that we evaluated. It worked exactly as advertised. It was very easy to upload the list of contacts, very easy to draft texts and their AI wording suggestions were usually spot on. Sending, receiving, and replying to text conversations worked exactly as one would expect them to.

Works great! I have been using EZ for the past three years primarily to keep in touch with my Agents and I am now beginning to use it in my everyday prospecting! This is by far the easiest Texting system I have used. Easy to use and a robust platform. Great for keeping in touch with my team and clients.

Best SMS provider I've ever used. Our previous clients are thankful that we've kept in touch with them since they purchased from us and we've increased our sales 300% since starting EZ Texting.

Customer order engagement increased by over 50%. Our customers order every month and weren't ordering by the deadlines. Email reminders weren't working very well, but since using EZ Texting our engagement has shot up and now most are making the deadlines.
