Texteller is an all-in-one text message integration solution for WordPress, supporting multiple third-party SMS and messaging gateways.\
The plugin tries to integrate with almost all email triggers on the site to send text messages. You can also receive text messages with supported gateways.
Texteller offers a separated member registration system and along with the complete integration with WordPress user registration, it fully supports most popular plugins, including WooCommerce customer registration and checkout process (there’s more to come). If enabled, users may be able to register on the site using their mobile number instead of email address.
The plugin has a complete text message newsletter system with a detailed registration form which could be inserted on any page or post using WordPress Widgets or the shortcode. Members registered via newsletter form may have no user linked to them, in order to prevent conflicts with other third-party plugins and they become just members of your site’s text newsletter!
