Easy to use

ClickSend is simple to understand and use. No issues whatsoever. SMS Campaigns are sent out immediately and it has helped us reach many people. I will definitely use ClickSend for further activities.

the system we are using is working great and everything seems to be working as intended. I have no issue there.

However the dash board clearly tells me how many messages I have sent and recieved which is great but all I can see is a balance I have credit for but it would be great to tell me how many estimated text I have left?
I have received an email telling me it's time to top off but I have $98 left so how many test is that left? do I need to top up? it would be helpful to know how many message I have left before I need to buy more.

Very easy to use. The chat bot helps with all questions on how to navigate the system and refers you to a person if required. The chat bot was excellent.

There is an issue with UAE were sms is not being reached. We opened a ticket and they said alpha tag needs to be registered for UAE if we want to use our name. We told them we are using the Default ClickSEND tag which cannot be changed and it shouldn't be blocked but they don't seem to understand what is going on.

Hello Ahmed

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent experience.

ClickSend provides messaging services globally, and we rely on our network and carrier partners to deliver messages successfully. Each country has its own specific requirements and regulations, and unfortunately, in this instance, we were not aware that the relevant tag had expired, which resulted in the issue you experienced.

We sincerely apologise for the confusion and inconvenience this caused. Our team worked to identify the underlying issue and work through the necessary steps to reach a resolution, and we appreciate your patience while this was being addressed.

I understand that one of our Account Managers will be reaching out to you directly to go through the details and ensure everything is fully resolved and you are back up and running. There are also some other options including registering your own Alpha tag to avoid any impacts that may surface using CS generic tags. The Account manager will explain this with you.

Thank you again for your patience and for bringing this to our attention.

Kind regards
Vicki

Hi Dee

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I completely understand how confusing and frustrating this must have been, especially when you weren’t actively trying to send a message. Receiving an unexpected notification like this can certainly catch you off guard, and I’m sorry for the inconvenience it has caused.

I looked into exactly what happened here. Your account is set up with an automation to forward any incoming messages from your Dedicated Number to your personal number.

Recently, an incoming text you received contained specific keywords that breach strict, industry-wide telecom regulations. When the system automatically tried to forward that message, our compliance filters instantly caught the restricted content and cancelled the send, which triggered the email you received.

I know getting that warning was a shock. However, our system stepped in specifically to protect you. The mobile networks heavily penalise or permanently block accounts that transmit restricted content. By halting that automated forward, we ensured your account and your Dedicated Number remained completely safe, secure, and in good standing with the carriers.

To make sure you are fully taken care of moving forward, I am having one of our Account Managers reach out to you directly via email today. We can help you navigate how to handle these edge cases with your automation settings so you can continue getting your notifications without running into these strict compliance filters.

Kind regards
Vicki

Hello Jane

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

Your account is still active. Upon investigation I find that your specific message campaign was cancelled. I am sorry for the impact this had on your workshop planning.

I just want to clarify that the cancellation of messages was not due to you hosting a dating event. The challenge is that, as a messaging platform, we operate within strict legislative Industry guidelines which are set by the mobile networks. Under these "Guidelines", any messaging categorised as "Dating Content" is unfortunately not supported and therefore banned.

You can read about these shared sending guidelines here: https://help.clicksend.com/en/articles/42328-our-sending-guidelines.

Because your account is still active, you can continue using it for any non-dating related messages and messages that comply with our sending guidelines. I can see that we have refunded your recent recharge to your original payment method. To make sure you are taken care of moving forward, I am having one of our Account Managers reach out to you directly via email today to help you navigate this.

Again sincere apologies for the inconvenience- we are here to assist you moving forward- if you have any further questions please reach out- you will hear from one of the team shortly.

Kind regards
Vicki

**Extremely disappointing

**Extremely disappointing — SMS marked as “Sent” but customers never received them**

I strongly recommend that businesses think twice before relying on ClickSend for critical SMS communication.

We experienced a serious delivery problem where messages were shown as “Sent” in our ClickSend account, but customers were not actually receiving them.

We did not simply assume there was a delivery problem. We personally contacted more than 20 recipients by phone, and they confirmed that they had not received any SMS from us.

Even more concerning, we found that some OTP/verification messages were also failing. For example:

**OTP message:**
“Your verification code is: 7930”

**Status in ClickSend:** Failed

We have screenshots showing the message status and the charges associated with these messages, and we can provide them as evidence.

What is particularly concerning is that we were still being charged for messages that were not successfully delivered. In other words, the system can take money from your account for SMS messages that the intended recipient never receives.

This is extremely concerning for any business relying on SMS for important communication or verification.

We also have serious concerns about some of the positive reviews we have seen. Based on our experience, it is difficult to understand how the service can receive so many positive reviews when we are experiencing such fundamental delivery problems.

At this point, our personal opinion is that ClickSend feels like a “legal scam”. Customers can be charged for messages that never reach the intended recipient.

We strongly recommend testing the service thoroughly before trusting it with important SMS or OTP messages. Do not rely only on the “Sent” status in the dashboard. Actually contact the recipients and confirm that they received the messages.

We are sharing our experience so other businesses can be aware of these issues and make an informed decision before using ClickSend.

Hi Pawel,

Thank you for reaching out and providing detailed feedback on your experience. I am sorry for the inconvenience and confusion caused by some of your messages not reaching their intended recipients.
I would like to provide some clarity on what our investigation uncovered regarding your account. First, I want to reassure you that your OTP (One-Time Password) messages are currently sending and delivering successfully. However, we identified that other specific outreach messages you sent were blocked by the mobile carriers' filters.

When a message is sent from our platform, it is successfully handed off to the mobile carriers, this initial handoff is what triggers the "Sent" status on your dashboard. From there, we rely entirely on the local carriers to deliver the message to the handset. The status will only update to "Failed" when the carrier explicitly notifies us that they rejected the delivery due to their strict messaging guidelines.

Regarding the charges, like all SMS providers, we are charged by the mobile networks the exact moment we submit a message to them for delivery, regardless of whether the carrier's filters block the final leg of the journey.

We are committed to helping you resolve this filtering issue. Our routing team is currently reaching out directly to the mobile networks to determine exactly why your specific messaging was flagged.

One of our specialists will be in touch with you directly via email as soon as we have a definitive answer from the carriers, so we can provide guidance on how to ensure successful delivery moving forward.

Thank you for your patience while we work through this with you.

Kind regards
Vicki
