Pros
Clickatell is a great value for our customers. Their customer service is wonderful and they are great about keeping us updated with any new changes.
Easy to run and certainly helps the development of my business ... because communication is the most important thing in getting customers.
In our 10+ years with Clickatell, the overall experience was amazing.
Cons
There are a small number of failed messages; there is limited detail about the reasons for this.
We are being charged for text messages that our customers aren't receiving.
Click a tell is what is provided by the CMS. It was hard to set up, difficult to communicate as it’s US & the platform hard to navigate.

Whatsapp is now the default communication tool in Africa. Replacing SMS

Reviewed 3 years ago

Served my wel. Exceptionally well

Pros

Ease of implementing SMS API in my customized software suites

Cons

The SMS API served me well for nearly 17 years now. The SMS price stayed constant at the same price as for 17 years now. However MTC (98% market share) have reduced their local SMS rates drastically to retain some revenue stream from SMS infrastructure as alternative of WHATSAPP replacing Voice and SMS text. However Clickatells WHATSAPP tariffs is 3 times more expensive than Clickatell's standard SMS rates. Making it an inhabitable pricey alternative for dying SMS. Please reconsidder pricing for WHATSAPP in Africa (namibia included) same as South Africa.

Easy to Use Platform

Reviewed 3 years ago
Pros

Clickatell is a great value for our customers. Their customer service is wonderful and they are great about keeping us updated with any new changes

Cons

The portal is great for users who were previously set up, I have to use someone else's login to view our account - for some reason, it is not easy to set up my own
