Best Practices
- When including a link in your message, it's crucial to provide additional text alongside the link to enhance deliverability. Avoid using "Bit.ly" links, as they may trigger the recipient's carrier to block the message. Opt for full, descriptive URLs to ensure smooth transmission and recipient engagement.
- When including an image or video in your message, it's crucial to provide additional text to enhance deliverability.
- We recommend 320 characters for the best deliverability rate; however, you can do up to 1600 characters.
- Incoming calls or texts to your WiseSMS number will trigger a text message notification to the connected personal number, providing valuable insights into who attempted to reach you via phone call and/or text to your WiseText number.

If a text message fails, the credit will not be restored.
To prevent this, please adhere to our best practices, such as avoiding short links and invalid images. As a precaution, we recommend sending a test SMS to yourself before distributing a text blast.
