Administrators can send text messages online with this interface, and set up auto-responders and subscriptions on Virtual Numbers.

  Purchase Virtual Numbers online in your CardBoardFish.com Account and assign them to Email2SMS. Messages sent to your Virtual Number can be sent to your default email address, or simply stored in your Administration Account.
