Sending text messages from Goldmine just got easier with GoldSMS. With just one click from within Goldmine you can connect directly to the national SMS network, send your contact a text, and have it automatically logged to history -– you no longer need to know the carrier of the person you are trying to reach! GoldSMS also includes these other features to help you improve your customer reach:

  • Send text to a contact (or group of contacts) or to one of your representatives regarding a contact.
  • Texting history is linked to the contact record and logged into GoldMine.
  • Inbound text replies from your contacts are linked and logged into GoldMine.
  • Texting is inexpensive: as low as $0.02 (yes, that's two cents!) per text.
  • Supports all recent versions of GoldMine Premium Edition* (8.0 and later).
  • And much more!

With the number of mobile devices connected to the Internet far outpacing desktop and laptop computers, you will want to ensure your business is keeping pace with technology. It's critical that you have the ability to communicate with your contacts in the manner they expect. 

"Wait a minute... doesn't this capability already exist in GoldMine?"

Sort of, but... not really! The existing GoldMine functionality requires that you know the recipient's carrier. Subsequent texting is then performed using the carrier's email-to-SMS conversion process.

"GoldSMS is a much needed add-on for GoldMine and a great value.  No longer having to know the cell provider, the ability to send simultaneous texts to a set of contacts and having texting as a part of automated processes are all fantastic improvements.  Steven Graff and the Plain English team have been very responsive to suggestions and have a product that we have all been waiting for.  I believe this greatly extends the life of the GoldMine product line.  Great work Plain English team!"
