SMS for Security Companies
Alert clients the moment an alarm triggers, confirm guard shifts and keep patrol updates moving, all by text.
How security companies use SMS
An alarm activation, a missed patrol check-in or a guard who can't make a shift all need someone to know immediately, not after a missed call or an unread email. Security companies use Mobile Message to alert a client the moment an incident is logged, confirm who's covering a shift, and keep a two-way line open with guards on site.
Mobile Message sends at 1.6¢ per message on your first purchase with no monthly fees or contracts, so an alert reaches a client or a guard in seconds. Send under your company's name, trigger alerts straight from your monitoring or dispatch system with our REST API, and let guards and clients reply directly, with every response landing in one shared inbox your control room can work through together.

Text a client the moment an alarm activates or an incident is logged, so they hear it from you first.

Send or receive a quick confirmation when a patrol is complete or a job is signed off.
