Can you combine VoIP and SMS?
SMS and ACTIO VoIP: the duo your business needs more than coffee on a Monday

In a world where "everyone is online," it might seem that traditional communication channels are becoming obsolete. Nothing could be further from the truth. While emails get lost in "Offers" folders and messaging apps flood us with notifications about memes, SMS and ACTIO VoIP telephony are emerging as leaders of effective business communication.

Why is this combination a bull's-eye? Let's take a look at how modern technology helps you save time, money and... your nerves.

1. SMS: the king of reach you forgot about

Did you know that the average open rate of an SMS message is nearly 98%? For comparison, emails enjoy a result of around 20%.

When you send an SMS to a customer, you have an almost one-hundred-percent certainty that your message will be read within the first three minutes. It's the perfect tool for:

  • Confirming appointments and reservations.
  • Sending quick authorization codes.
  • Notifying about flash promotions.

2. ACTIO VoIP telephony: your office in your pocket

ACTIO VoIP telephony (Voice over IP) is a technology that turns the internet into a phone line. Forget about tangled cables and high bills for domestic and international calls.

What do you gain with ACTIO VoIP?

  • Mobility 2.0: Your landline or business number "travels" wherever you go. You answer calls on your smartphone while sitting in a cafe in Lisbon, and your customer thinks you're at your desk in Warsaw.
