In today’s digital-first world, your communication needs to be fast, flexible, and reliable—even when email fails or Wi-Fi drops. That’s where NTSCOM’s SMS Services step in.

This week’s Tech Tip Thursday is all about how to leverage SMS through NTSCOM’s platform to improve delivery rates, boost engagement, and ensure important messages are seen when it matters most.

📱 Why Use SMS for Business Communication?

Unlike email, SMS messages are short, direct, and nearly always read. Studies show text messages have a 98% open rate—far higher than email’s average 20–30%.

With NTSCOM’s SMS Services, you can:

  • Send real-time alerts and updates even when internet access is down

  • Enable two-way messaging directly from Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or your NTSCOM dashboard

  • Automate customer communication, including appointment reminders, delivery updates, and service notifications

  • Stay fully TCPA-compliant with built-in opt-in/opt-out and message tracking tools

🛠️ How It Works with NTSCOM

NTSCOM’s SMS Services are designed for speed and simplicity. Whether you’re sending alerts to internal teams or texts to customers, it’s easy to get started through your NTSCOM interface or the Pulse Alerts system feature.

Step-by-step:

  1. Log into Pulse

    • Navigate to the “SMS Notifications” tab

  2. Select your recipients

    • Target groups by team, location, Active Directory sync, or custom contact lists

  3. Compose your message

    • Use personalization fields like [FirstName] for custom experiences

  4. Send instantly or schedule for later

    • Great for routine appointment reminders, shift changes, or urgent alerts

💡 Pro Tip: Combine SMS with Multi-Channel Alerts

For maximum reach, pair SMS with other notification types like email or desktop popups. This layered approach ensures critical information doesn’t get missed and supports hybrid teams across channels.
