Using FireText as our SMS supplier has enabled us to have greater control over how we allocate and manage our SMS budget across each of our GP sites. The service provides us with an online portal where we can allocate SMS credits and view live SMS balances for each of our GP sites.

Low alert threshold emails inform us when an account is running low and, if required, GP sites can purchase further credits themselves via their dedicated FireText account. Setting up with FireText was very quick and we receive regular reports showing GP site usage. The reports help us understand which practices are using the functionality and where to target any further support.

GP sites can also use the service to raise awareness of their services and ongoing projects with the support of the CCG, which helps to keep costs down by sending SMS to patients rather than letters.
