Mail2grow will then send the message and it will appear as if it has come from your mobile number. All replies will be sent to your mobile number if you change this.
Compress Text
Sending SMS campaigns are restricted to 160 characters which you can fit quite large messages into. If you are running out of space to enter your all of your message, instead of using abbreviations which can be misinterpreted use our compression tool.
The compression tool allows you compress the message using very clear abbreviation reducing the overall size without compromising the message itself.
