"Karri is a global first and a brilliant solution that eliminates the inconvenience of school payments. Karri relies on its ability to communicate with parents. “Because SMS messages are delivered directly to their mobile phones, parents are able to navigate the download process and installation process with ease, and with a far higher success rate.” Clickatell’s APIs quickly and easily allowed us to “fire off an SMS from anywhere in our tech stack, making it very easy to develop it into applications."

"Bands For Hire Ltd is a live music agency operating in the UK, providing musical bands for any occasion. They use SMS messaging to effectively communicate and inform clients that an email has been sent, prompting them to check their emails sooner. A simple SMS message takes care of the problem.
