The UK and Ireland's leading weather alert service is Metcheck.com, providing up to date forecasts and real-time alerts for all UK cities via bulk SMS messaging. With over 100,000 daily visitors to their website, Metcheck wanted to extend their service to a mobile platform and even make it available to users roaming around Europe. Using Clickatell’s SMTP gateway they successfully send bulk SMS messages to their users, regardless of location.
"By using Clickatell, we have wiped the floor in the UK market. No other weather company could match us for price, quality, and super fast delivery. Our ROI was achieved well within our expected timeframe of 2 months. In the weather industry things move fast, changes happen within minutes and this requires a technology and a supplier of that technology who can deliver with equal speed. In our trading history, no other supplier has matched the way Clickatell can offer us this. Not just the technology, but the price and level of customer service is second to none, and I can honestly say that I can contribute much of Metcheck's success to the level of support offered by Clickatell."
