What Are the Types of Bulk SMS Services? (With Examples)

Bulk SMS service is a way to send one message to many people at the same time. It’s like sending one big group message to hundreds or thousands of phones in just one click!

In India, this is very helpful for shops, schools, banks, apps, and even hospitals. They use it to:

• Tell people about a sale or offer
• Send a delivery update
• Give a login code (OTP)
• Share an important alert

When you know the different types of Bulk SMS, it becomes easy to choose the right one for the right job. Let’s take a look at them in a way that’s easy and fun to understand!

Promotional Bulk SMS

Promotional SMS is a type of message that helps people know about sales, offers, or new things to buy. Businesses like shops, online stores, or apps use it to tell lots of people:

• “Hey! Come check this out! We have something cool for you!”

These messages are only sent between 9 AM to 9 PM, so people don’t get disturbed at night.

These messages do not talk about money, orders, or important updates—they are just for sharing cool offers and making people excited to buy.

Example of Promotional SMS:

• “🎉 Big Sale Today! Get 50% OFF on shoes at ShoeWorld! Hurry, offer ends at 8 PM! 👟”

This message tells people about a sale so they might go and shop. That’s Promotional SMS!

Transactional Bulk SMS

Transactional SMS is a message that tells you something important — like when you buy something, or when your bank needs to tell you something. These messages can come any time - even at night or early in the morning!

They can even be sent to people who have said "Don't send me ads" (called DND, or Do Not Disturb), because they are not ads — they are need-to-know messages.

Example of Transactional SMS:

• “Hi Customer, your order #1234 has been shipped. It will arrive by 6 PM today.”

This is a transactional SMS because it tells the customer something they really need to know about their order.

OTP Bulk SMS

OTP SMS is a special kind of Transactional SMS. It sends a secret number (called a One-Time Password) to check if it’s really you before you do something online — like logging in to an app or paying money. This keeps your account safe and secure!

Just like other transactional messages, OTPs come any time of day, even to people on DND lists.

Example of OTP SMS:

• “Your OTP is 852963. Please enter it to log in. Do not share it with anyone.”

This is an OTP SMS, and it helps make sure only you can log in or make a payment.

Service Explicit SMS

Service Explicit SMS means the message is sent only when you say yes (give permission).

That means:

• You told the app or store, “Yes, send me updates.”
• You want reminders or news that is just for you.

These messages are made just for your interests — like your favorite show, bill reminders, or updates about something you signed up for.

Service Explicit SMS Example:

• “Hi Meera, your doctor’s appointment is tomorrow at 4 PM. Reply YES to confirm.”

This is a Service Explicit SMS because Meera agreed to get reminders, and the message is just for her.

Voice Bulk SMS – (Messages You Can Hear!)

Voice SMS is not a written message — it’s a spoken message that you can listen to on your phone!

It’s great for:

• People who like listening more than reading
• People who can’t see well
• Sending urgent or important messages in a friendly voice

Businesses, schools, and even politicians use Voice SMS to talk to many people at once.

Voice SMS Example:

You get a call and hear:

• “Hello! Don’t miss our Super Sunday Sale! Up to 70% off on all items!”

That’s a Voice SMS — a message you can hear, not read!

Flash SMS – (Messages That Pop Up & Disappear!)

Flash SMS is a special kind of message that pops up right on your screen like a surprise ⚡— and it doesn’t go to your inbox!

These are used when someone wants you to see something important right now, like:

• Urgent alerts
• One-time passwords
• Warnings or quick news

You can’t save a flash SMS — it shows up, and then it’s gone when you close it.

Flash SMS Example:

Your screen lights up and says:

• “⚠️ Emergency Alert: Heavy rain expected in your area. Stay indoors.”

That’s a Flash SMS — you see it fast and clear, but it won’t stay in your message box.
