CDYNE SMS Notify! API Price Reduction

CDYNE Announces New Lower SMS API Pricing

Effective immediately, CDYNE is cutting the price of all text messaging transactions to 1 cent. This includes all text messages sent to CDYNE’s worldwide network.

SMS Notify! 2.0 is a 2-way text messaging Web Service that sends and receives text messages through secure SMS gateways. Commonly used messaging features include automated appointment or payment reminders, product delivery status notifications, and subscriber event messaging.

Automated Keyword Management

In addition to cutting the price of SMS transactions, CDYNE has added automated keyword management features into SMS Notify! 2.0. SMS message recipients who type HELP, STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, and QUIT keywords will now receive an automated acknowledgement.

When a CDYNE SMS Notify! 2.0 recipient types “HELP” CDYNE will automatically send back a default string with company name, contact information and STOP instructions to end text messages. This allows the recipient to know who is contacting them, and provides them with information on how they can contact the sender. SMS Notify! 2.0 users have the option to customize the HELP return string.

CDYNE SMS Notify! 2.0 automatically manages the STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, and QUIT keywords. When an SMS recipient sends any of these keywords, CDYNE will send an automated acknowledgement. This will block the recipient’s number from receiving messages from our system in an effort to protect them from unwanted or unsolicited messages.
