Founded with a different messaging goal in mind…

TextPower, Inc., was formed by two veteran entrepreneurs with deep experience in the wireless industry. The company's philosophy is different than most everyone else's in the SMS industry - we believe that there is a significant role to be played in the connectivity between people and machines that provides updates, alerts, information and more via messages sent directly to a user's phone triggered by an event or threshold being reached.

Our Capabilities Set Us Apart

TextPower's mission-critical-grade infrastructure has many advantages over other "entertainment grade" text messaging companies. If your requirements demand reliable, time-sensitive, important or critical messages, or you need to integrate the sending and managing of messages with your enterprise software, TextPower should be your choice. We offer:

• Mission-critical infrastructure. Complete geographic redundancy ensuring that even in the event of a major disaster your messages keep flowing.
• We reach every cell phone. Through the combined use of industry standard short codes and our exclusive 10-Code™ technology, we can reach any phone in the U.S. that has the capability to send or receive a text message.
• Fastest message delivery. Our "throughput" rates are so fast that we have to throttle them back in order for the carriers to handle the flow. Our delivery rates are the fastest and our queues are the shortest in the industry.
• Automated resending capability. No other company interprets error messages from carriers and makes secondary attempts to deliver your messages. Only TextPower has that ability.
• Integrate easily with your enterprise software. Use our powerful APIs and SOAP interface to create specific, simple or highly complex applications easily. We become your outsourced messaging infrastructure that appears to be a part of your internal system.
• Domestic and international sending through a single, transparent interface. Using our simplified international sending process you can send messages as easily to international destinations as you can to cellular phone users U.S.
• Unique event-triggered messaging capability. Easily send automated alerts when something happens, providing users with information quickly and efficiently with no human interaction needed. Outages, updates, stock shortages, price changes, etc., can all easily trigger text messages to individuals or groups.
• Industry-leading number caching system. Other messaging service providers look up the carrier for each mobile number each time they send a message, adding complexity and cost. TextPower looks up every cell phone number just once and keeps it stored in our own database, adding speed and reducing cost to our customers.

Other companies specialize in dealing with customers using a small volume of messages in typical applications (marketing messages, coupons, etc.). TextPower specializes in helping customers work through unique or difficult applications and those with large volumes of messaging.

Company History

The two founders, Scott Goldman and Mark Nielsen, have both conceived, launched, built and sold businesses in the wireless, software and Internet industries since the 1980s.

In February 2009, the founders purchased the assets of a company that had been created to develop software specifically for the SMS industry by two AT&T Laboratories veterans. The platform and software library was significantly more robust and reliable than anything else available on the market. Most importantly, it offered an opportunity to move messaging into the "automatic to peer" (A2P) environment more smoothly and elegantly than anything previously available.

Combining the industrial-strength reliability of the platform and software with the imaginative approach of using the capabilities to help companies develop solutions instead of simply send messages to cell phones is the founding principle of TextPower, Inc.
