TPI Integration with Twilio

Overview

SMS-Magic is a single-window service for all your messaging needs. To start messaging, you can buy SMS credits, Virtual mobile numbers, shortcodes/longcodes via SMS-Magic, and experience power of messaging solution.

In Addition, SMS-Magic has two offerings – BYOP & BYON which will be helpful for customers who want to adopt SMS-Magic by purchasing user licenses and continue using their existing phone numbers or telecom connections. 

“Bring Your Own Provider” or BYOP  – This offering is for the customers who are already using SMS Aggregator in a standalone way or with Dialers and have long term contracts. They can start using SMS-Magic without discontinuing the existing services. They can connect their existing SMS Provider with the SMS-Magic Platform. 

BYOP enables you to use a phone number provided by an external provider without losing the functional benefits of the SMS-Magic Application. 

Customers already connected with messaging providers such as Twilio, can continue using Native SMS-Magic Application on Salesforce, Zoho, and other CRMs together and give your businesses the best of both worlds. This separation of Application and the underlying messaging provider gives businesses all the features and benefits of the application you know, but use a trusted provider at the messaging layer too.
