How to do survey or RSVP consolidation?

There are 2 requisites before you can receive incoming SMS for your SMS Campaign:

1. Ensure you are on 2 way bundle and have hosted a short code or long code with us
• To host a short code, call +65 6255 0010 for enquiry
• To host long code with us, purchase a $8 pre-paid sim card and pass it to us and we will do the hosting for you
2. Or you have setup your RapidSMS App Channel and gotten your recipients to download RapidSMS App so they can reply you for free

Once the above requisites has been achieved, you can start your survey or RSVP SMS campaign.
