DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
txtr.ca supplies you with a set of services that allow you to send and receive text messages to and from any network in Canada using short code 77777 for the purpose of maintaining communication among the members of affinity groups (for example your customers, fans, members of a sports team, company employees and similar). This is NOT a free service. All SMS messages (one SMS = one credit) require one credit in order to be processed.

txtr.ca is a monthly service. Depending on your chosen plan you will receive the right to use a certain number of keywords and messages. Unused messages roll-over to the next month as long as you maintain your monthly subscription payments.

After this period you need to select one of our available monthly plans to continue using the keyword and add more keywords (depending on the chosen plan).
