At Ankarex, we are proud to be the only SMS sender offering Real-Time Manual Tests. This unique feature allows you to test your SMS campaigns directly on your mobile device, ensuring that your messages are delivered accurately and efficiently. In this article, we will explain the differences between a test tool and manual tests sms, and show you how our innovative solution can help you optimize your bulk sms and api sms campaigns.
What Are Real-Time Manual Tests?
Manual Tests provide a hands-on approach to evaluating your SMS channels in real time. Unlike a test tool, which is used to compare different SMS providers in the destination country, manual tests send your messages directly to your mobile phone. This enables you to experience firsthand the performance, delivery speed, and quality of your SMS campaigns, allowing you to fine-tune your strategy for maximum impact.
Test Tool vs. Manual Tests
Test Tool:
A test tool is generally used to evaluate and compare various SMS providers based on the country you are sending to. It helps you determine which provider may offer the best performance under local conditions.
Manual Tests:
Manual tests, on the other hand, deliver test messages directly to your mobile phone. This direct approach is critical for validating your sid (sender identification) and message content in real-world conditions. In summary, while a test tool assists in choosing the right provider, manual tests provide concrete, real-time feedback on which channel performs best for your specific needs.
A Practical Example of Manual Tests
Let’s walk through a practical example to illustrate how real-time manual tests work:
Access Manual Tests:
Log in to your Ankarex account and navigate to the Manual Tests section.
Select Country and Channels:
Choose Spain as your destination country. For this example, select channels such as CH11, CH4, and CH6. Each channel you choose will be tested, and you will be charged for each test SMS sent (in this case, three SMS messages).
Configure SID and Message Content:
Suppose you set your sid as:
Marketing
csharp
Copiar
And the message content as:
Hi this is a message from https://ankarex.io
markdown
Copiar
- Receive Test SMS:
After sending your test messages, you will receive responses on your mobile device similar to:
Hi this is a message from https://ankarex.io [TRIAL CH11]Hi this is a message from https://ankarex.io [TRIAL CH4]
These responses allow you to determine which channel delivers your SMS most effectively. Once you identify the best-performing channel, you can update your configuration in the Route Switcher to optimize your bulk sms campaigns.
