TellusTalk newsletter June 2011

Group distribution of text messages (SMS) using the new Xpress services

textXpress and webXpress are new flexible ways of using text messaging to communicate with and within a group.

You can either set up your own list of members, or the group members can register and unregister themselves!

— webXpress is a distribution list stored in the TellusTalk cloud.

You create and administer your own group distributionlist on the Internet.

You send text/SMS to the group directly from your Internet browser or from your email account.

webXpress has many applications, customer communication being number one.

— textXpress is an open reception list connected to a specific number

You can create members yourself.

Those who want to sign up for membership send a text message from their mobile phone.

In this application, textXpress is suitable for air/bus/ferry passengers who want to be informed of transportation delays on "their" means of transportation.

— textXpress can also be used for group communication, the difference from the previous example being that all members of the group can send messages to the rest of the group. Very convenient when a workgroup is in the process of planning a meeting for example.

Use TellusTalk on Facebook to send and receive SMS

The first time you use the service you have to log in both on Facebook and TellusTalk

Your organisation can also connect a mobile phone number or a codeword that allows for updating your organisation's facebook page using text messaging.

SiteVision integration

By the end of June, TellusTalk's services will be connected to SiteVision. If you use SiteVision for your website, you can offer your visitors to sign up for information from you via text messages.

Outlook/Sharepoint integration

We are very near completing an Outlook/Sharepoint integration with TellusTalk text services. It will allow you to send text messages using the Outlook built in SMS service with TellusTalk as the provider. It will be available during summer '11.
