FrontlineSMS Introduces FrontlineCloud Beta | Opens Door For SMS Management On The Go

Text message management platform, FrontlineSMS has today introduced FrontlineCloud, to allow users easily send, receive, and manage SMS messages and data from anywhere in the world.

According to FrontlineSMS CEO Laura Walker-Hudson, “FrontlineCloud makes life simpler with a quick set-up process, more ways to connect to mobile networks, and all of the sophisticated data management available through the cloud. It brings the convenience of the web to your text message communications, all for a low monthly rate.”

Users of FrontlineCloud will be able to send SMS anywhere in the world and connect to almost any mobile network anywhere around the world via FrontlineCloud’s web-based service partners, or via an Android phone connected to the mobile network one wants to send messages through. Say an Android phone connected to MTN Rwanda if a user wants to through MTN Rwanda or an Android phone connected to Safaricom if a user wants to send messages through Safaricom.

“We’re excited to be making this big leap in the development of the Frontline product set,” Walker-Hudson told TechMoran. “We’ve been listening to user feedback and looking at the needs of the market for the last few years, and making the configurability and accessibility of FrontlineSMS available in the cloud seemed like a very logical next step for us. You can expect lots more new features in the app in the coming months, as well as a new release of our award-winning desktop platform, FrontlineSMS. We couldn’t be prouder of our amazing team.”

Walker-Hudson added that for two-way messaging a user can lease a local “virtual” number in over 35 countries then send and receive through an Android phone over a specific mobile network or with a custom connection with a partner.

Getting started with FrontlineCloud  is simple. One only needs a valid e-mail address and an Internet connection. They then complete a short form and confirm via e-mail. After they sign up, they’ll be able to log in through FrontlineCloud’s homepage, or directly via cloud.frontlinesms.com.

FrontlineCloud is available for only $10 per month. The price covers the cost of tool development maintenance, premium user support, and user account web-hosting.

Originally developed in 2005 in London, FronlineSMS is used around the world in over 135 countries. FrontlineSMS is based in Washington, DC, US and Nairobi, Kenya and has teams situated around the world. Recently the firm announced it had reached 100,000 downloads , 75,000 of them in the last year alone.
