Everytime I try to send a campaign they…

Everytime I try to send a campaign they block it for completely nonsensical reasons. Once they said I sent a personal message in spanish. 1. I don't know any spanish. 2. It was an ad about farm equipment. The next time they said I didn't identify the company and give an opt out option. Both items were very much in the message.

We’re here and ready to assist, so please let us know if you ever need a hand with your next campaign or want to explore how our automations and integrations can help your business.

Noted you gave us a very low 1 Star Review (5 being top of scale) was there something we could have done better- we are always appreciative of feedback so we can improve our customer experiences. If you have us 'upside down and meant to give a 5' be great if you could adjust. Many many thanks - reach out if you need anything support@clicksend.com.

Very good

Easy to use, good support team, decent pay-as-you-go pricing, very high deliverability. My only concern is they never told me when prices went up, but they quickly gave me a refund after I contacted support.

I had an incredibly frustrating experience with ClickSend. About 80% of my SMS were never sent due to constant "issues."

Right after subscribing, I was repeatedly bombarded with generic emails telling me how great ClickSend is and asking if I needed help. Every time I replied to explain that the system actually wasn’t working, my messages were completely ignored. Instead of getting actual support, I just received another automated email saying, "I hope you enjoy our good service."

It feels completely tone-deaf and out of touch. I cannot recommend this platform.

Hello Manfred

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

I'm sorry to hear that your experience with ClickSend has been a frustrating one. We understand how disappointing it is when message delivery does not meet expectations, particularly when SMS communications are important to your business.

I can see that you were receiving our customer outreach emails, which are intended to keep customers informed about platform updates, events, and available services. However, I appreciate that receiving these communications while experiencing delivery issues may have felt disconnected from the support you were seeking.

From our records, our Support team was actively engaged in investigating and attempting to resolve the delivery issues you reported. SMS delivery relies on a number of factors, including carrier and network partner performance, destination network conditions, filtering policies, and message compliance requirements. In some cases, messages may be delayed or returned for further assessment before delivery can be completed.

That said, we recognise that the overall experience fell short of your expectations, and for that, I sincerely apologise.

I would like to take the opportunity to review one of the failed destination numbers in greater detail to better understand the specific cause of the delivery failures. Following that review, your Account Manager will reach out directly to discuss the findings and any further steps we can take to support you.

We will be in contact early next week and would welcome the opportunity to see if there is anything further we can do to rebuild your confidence in our service.

Thank you again for your feedback and for bringing your concerns to our attention.

kind regards

Kate is great!

I had an issue with the new Alpha tag update and was getting confusing information.
I left some feedback and Kate reached out to me personally and resolved my concerns. She was very professionally and responded to my feedback within hours.

AVOID - 0/10 - Do Not Waste Your Time or Money.

If you're considering ClickSend for your marketing or internal communication, think again.

ClickSend are without doubt the worst company I've ever had the misfortune to deal with. When I decided to move my SMS services over to them in January 2026, I thought I'd be generous and give things a week or so to setup, figure out their dashboard, automation system etc.

What I didn't realise is I'd be here in June 2026 still unable to send a single SMS to our customers.

Trying to setup automation through their system proved not just difficult, but impossible, as days turned to weeks, and weeks to months attempting to communicate with them to resolve the issue.

Not only were they dreadfully slow to respond to my tickets, they also made no effort to follow up unless prompted, weeks would go by without any kind of communication or update.

If you're looking for any semblance of support or hope that your SMS campaign or automation will reach your customers, look elsewhere and do not give your money to this lazy timewaster of a company, there are many better options.

Hello Solomon

I completely understand your disappointment and why you feel let down. The delays you experienced in setting up your SMS automation were due to a highly complex technical issue with the Zoho CRM integration. While our team and our integration partners worked to resolve it, the issue ultimately had to be escalated to Zoho’s own support team, and we have unfortunately been stuck waiting on their resolution.

However, being reliant on a third party does not excuse our lack of proactive communication. You should not have had to chase us for updates over these past few months, and I sincerely apologize for the radio silence on our end. We failed to keep you in the loop, and we are taking this feedback seriously to improve how we handle long-running technical escalations in the future.

I can confirm that your account has now been completely closed, and our finance team is actively processing your full refund. Please allow a few business days for the funds to reach your account.

I know this was a significant waste of your time, and I am genuinely sorry we couldn't get this working for you. We wish you and the Complete Campers Southwest team all the best moving forward.

kind regards

The service works ok

The service works ok. My issue is it took less than 30 seconds to open my account, to close it, you have to use the chat window and contact support and waste another 20 minutes while they pull up your record.

Hello Ray

Thank you for your feedback. I understand we are all short of time - however in order to close your account we did need to identify you to ensure we are closing the correct account.

I can see it took 6 minutes to process once our Agent had the information required. Apologies if this took longer than expected as we have a number of steps to take to ensure your account is closed correctly.

We are continually looking to improve our internal processes and customer service capabilities so thankyou again.

Kind regards
