Thanks for helping us reach 200,000,000 messages!
In January of 2015, we hit a milestone of 100,000,000 SMS messages sent. It took us 8 years of hard work and commitment to build a quality product for customers. Now just 16 months later, we have doubled our total to 200,000,000. Records are being set month by month, and we are excited and by this growth. We are honoured that our customers place their faith in us to deliver.
On behalf of the Burst SMS family, we want to thank you for your continued support. Without your feedback and suggestions, we would not be where we are today. We will continue to be industry innovators, and build more features that you want. Contrary to how SMS is on the decline for personal use, we believe that 100,000,000 SMS sends within 14 months proves that SMS for business use is firmly on the rise.
