Interactive text message

I there a way to track the messages sent just to know they were delivered, without having them respond or respond only if they wish to? Can a header be placed on each message? is there a way to place an opt-out message on the end of the message?

It is usually not necessary to track whether a text message is received or not. Unlike emails, where there are SPAM filters, text messages are almost always delivered.

For text message, there is no such a thing as a header. All you have is 160 characters of text.

Yes, you can place an opt-out message at the end of your text message. This is one major reason you want to use Voicent BroadcastBySMS software, where text responses can be handled automatically.

Text messaging is not an interactive service. You send a text to a cell phone, that’s it. You can ask the recipient to respond with certain responses like 11 for opt-out, 22 for join, etc. But the response text is just like a regular text message. Without a software that can handle the response automatically, you have to manually process your incoming text message to see who wants to opt-out.
