Send SMS notifications for critical events or emergencies
Quickly and efficiently inform your customers about critical events or emergencies via SMS notifications. With our emergency subscription service, it’s a breeze.
The global security situation is currently dynamic and difficult to assess. We are affected by this in Switzerland as well: Will there be a blackout this winter if our power grid can no longer withstand the load? No one knows what might happen. That is why it is now more important than ever to be well prepared for critical events or emergencies.
Our solution helps you quickly and efficiently reach your customers with important information via SMS on their mobile phones. For example, during power shortages, tips on reducing household electricity consumption, or upcoming power outages.
How the emergency subscription service for sending SMS notifications works
Your customers, target groups, and members can independently sign up for and unsubscribe from your information service via SMS using a keyword. You can then send information via SMS to all registered subscribers either immediately or at scheduled times. You always have a clear overview, as you can manage your SMS services yourself online.

What are notification SMS messages
A notification text message is very similar to an alert, as the content must always contain important information. Commercial offers such as promotions, events, or similar have no place in a notification SMS. However, examples include notifications about technical issues sent automatically to technicians, or power outages, weather alerts, traffic disruptions, and important appointment reminders as well as the delivery of security codes such as OTPs (one-time passwords), mTANs for two-factor authentication, payment confirmations, etc.
