KAKAPO SYSTEMS AND Telestax have jointly

Unity allows users to send SMS to any number
in their BroadWorks directory, Outlook contacts,

Maddie Hinch shares her experiences with 9 Group partners
Steve Tutt (pictured), Marketing Director at

all the users messaging channels within the
Unity UI. Furthermore, users can send business
communications, such as PDF fi les, as part of their
uncapped SMS bundle, greatly expanding the
suitability of text for sales and customer support
