As an online solution, Pony Express HQ gives users the flexibility to send and receive SMS messages from any computer, tablet or mobile device. Pony Express HQ allows users to send notifications, alerts, reminders, confirmations and SMS marketing campaigns to subscribers, who receive them on their phone. With Pony Express HQ, users can deliver thousands of messages, send and receive picture/MMS messages, and establish an unlimited number of keywords. The platform also supports message forwarding to personal phone numbers, and allows recipients to respond back privately with two-way communication.

Pony Express allows users to define unlimited groups and keywords and set-up automated responses for keywords. Groups and keywords are established to organize and segment audiences, and to let them vote, subscribe and reply. Users can add subscribers by uploading a CSV file or by syncing contacts with an existing app such as Gmail or Outlook.
