Reviews

Excellent plugin, better than the other ones

Mazi Jaki September 23, 2021

I really can’t explain how good this plugin. Some of the features are missing but Experttexting is the best SMS plugin I have ever come across. I most say, it will be beat the other SMS plugins very soon. Please keep the good job up. I will always recommend my friends to use this great plugin.
