Starting in August, GetThru will be introducing Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) as a new option for our customers. MMS allows for sending of images and GIFs in addition to text. Once this feature is released all our clients will be able to send MMS messages at your current Per-Message Rate.
Also available is a new pricing option for customers who want to lower their costs. Traditionally, GetThru charges by outgoing Message which can be made up of one or more segments. A text Segment is limited to 160 characters and Messages often contain 3+ Segments. For customers who want to lower costs and can limit their Messages to 2 or fewer Segments, this is a great option.
By launching both together, GetThru has made it possible for our customers to optimize their campaigns to support both long-form (now MMS) or shorter, more cost-effective (Segments) based on your goals.
