Keep passengers and drivers in the loop

A booking is only useful if the passenger knows it's confirmed and knows when their driver will arrive. Taxi operators use SMS to confirm a booking the moment it's made, send an ETA as the driver gets close, and text corporate account customers a trip receipt for their records.

Mobile Message sends all of this at 1.6¢ per message on your first purchase, with no monthly fees or contracts, just prepaid credits. Send under your taxi company's name, let passengers reply to change or cancel a booking straight into a shared inbox, and connect your dispatch or booking system with our REST API so confirmations go out automatically.
