Mail merge for SMS

MailMerge.SMS.org.my

Mail Merge SMS is a website for sending bulk SMS messages, directly from a CSV / Spreadsheet file.

So, if you want to address your subscribers by name, and give them personalized information, you can export your spreadsheet to CSV, upload it to this website, and send a mail-merged SMS from anywhere with a web connection.

MailMerge.SMS.org.my allows you to send SMS to many people at once, with variations in the text to allow you to customize each email to be tailored to each recipient's profile.

To do this you will need a CSV (Comma Seperated Value) file containing the Phone numbers name, and other pertinent information that you might want to include in the text message.

You can save a CSV file from a spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel, or Open Office Calc. or you can create a text file containing text such as:

    John Doe,00447866069537
Bob Dillon,00447823456786
William hayes,00447866054765

It doesn't matter what order the columns are in, because when you upload your CSV file it will ask you to name each of the columns. Included options are Email, Phone Number, First Name, Second Name, etc. At least one of the columns must be a mobile phone number in international format (00 + Country code + Local number)

After pressing the "Finish" button, you will be brought back to the main screen, with a new option "Insert dynamic text", By selecting an option, such as "First Name" from the drop down list, and pressing the button, a field "#First Name#" will appear in your SMS. When sending out the Text messages, this text will be replaced by the information you uploaded in your CSV file.

Before sending you must have an account with FreebieSMS and have it topped up with enough funds from Paypal to cover the costs of sending your SMS.

If you have any problems using this software, you can email us at info@freebiesms.co.uk

Make money on Facebook with Free SMS

Our Affiliate program is now extended to Facebook,
with our new Facebook App loader.


If you're an affiliate of Freebie SMS, you can now use our Facebook App (http://apps.facebook.com/freebiesmsuk/) to increase your affiliate earnings, through viral referrals and friends-of-friends.

You still get paid 50p for every SMS received, but this time, after every SMS is sent, a note is posted onto the sender's facebook page, which is visible to their facebook contacts. This virally spreads your "Affiliate Cookie", which increases your exposure exponentially.

When you sign up to the FreebieSMS Affiliate scheme, you get a four digit number, this is your Affiliate ID - Let's say it's "1234".

So, this means that your "App Loader" URL is :
http://facebook.sms.eu.sk/loader.aspx?AffiliateID=1234

This sets an Affiliate Cookie on the users machine, and then sends them off to the Facebook App page, where they install the App on their facebook profile. The cookie lasts for one year, and can be renewed by each user that clicks on the App Loader URL.

In the near future, this new option will appear on our affiliate page as a new option after the text and form types currently available.

Needless to say, this Facebook App is available in many languages, and supports all the countries of our network.
