Operators waive SMS fees for Comic Relief

For the first time this year, members of the public can text a £1 or £5 donation to Comic Relief, knowing that every penny will go to the charity. The new initiative has been made possible by a generous gesture by the mobile industry and the support of the Treasury. The UK’s mobile network operators have agreed to waive their usual charges to ensure that a £1 or £5 text means a £1 or £5 donation to Comic Relief, while the Treasury has confirmed that, because of this, no VAT will be charged on these donations.

2sms extends 24/7 support to both UK and US offices

Investing in Avaya IP home office, 2sms is now able to pass calls between it's UK and US teams, in call, seemlessly. Customers pay only to dial into 2sms support, which is freephone in the UK on 0800 65 222 77 and Toll Free in the USA on 977 276 7266.

Both UK and US teams have access to our support system, so customer calls can be handled more of the time during normal office hours. Our Duty manager will then take the call outside office hours to compete our genuine 24/7 support.

Both teams are subject to ISO27001 Information Security, EU Safe Harbor and our Privacy policy licensed by TRUSTe.
