Worcester, UK — TxtLocal (http://www.txtlocal.com) has extended its SMS text messaging service to offer free inbound telephone numbers and keywords to all UK businesses and services. This number/keyword combination can then be printed anywhere to enable the rapid collection of opt-in customers who have requested to hear about latest special offers and promotions on their mobile phones.

The existing TxtLocal functionality allowed businesses to send text messages to their customers at a fraction of the cost of sending messages through a mobile phone. Messages could be scheduled for delivery at any time up to one year in advance.

"SMS has already become a very important business communication and promotional tool for many businesses in the UK," said TxtLocal Managing Director, Al Shortland.

We plan to do for SMS what Google did for Internet search. We already have hundreds of very satisfied customers, many reporting response rates of 40% and increased sales of 240%.
