What is the difference between an SMS and MMS text message?

SMS (short message service) and MMS (multimedia message service) are both types of text messages. SMS is the standard text style of text messages that includes up to 160 characters, and MMS can include pictures, video, sounds, and up to 800 characters.

To opt in is to join a list. This can be done by entering a phone number into your mobile web app or sending a text message containing a keyword to your number, then replying “YES” to the corresponding message. The “YES” text signifies that a customer has asked you to send them messages in the future.

We use industry standard encryption to ensure security within our systems and follow all Telephone Consumer Protection Act guidelines.

We work with all major carriers across the U.S. and Canada.

An SMS message is limited to 160 characters in the U.S. and Canada. MMS messages are limited to 800 characters each. This means you can include more details to make your marketing campaigns more informational and effective. A character includes letters, numbers, spaces, symbols, and punctuation.

Once a merchant signs up, a welcome email is immediately sent providing a unique QR code to start using, instructions on how to login to their account, and a Platform User Guide. They will also be contacted by our Customer Support team via email within 24 hours to arrange an onboarding meeting.

Merchants are able to add a kiosk any time after sign-up, including during the onboarding meeting with our Customer Support team or by emailing them at support@aurotext.com.

No credit card data is ever stored in our database, just the last 4 digits, type, and expiration date. AuroText is integrated with Stripe so the data is stored with Stripe in a payment profile.

There have been more than 10,000 merchants that have used the platform.

Yes! If a business doesn’t have the need for loyalty then they can use the AuroText platform to still interact, connect, and promote their business.
