My two main reasons for using this service are: to have a separate cell phone number for messages I don't want my actual phone to be cluttered with and the convenience of sending and receiving SMS messages from my PC.
The ability to send and receive SMS via email is very comfortable, it makes it much easier to find messages inside your mail client than on your phone.
Having another phone number for SMS is useful in many cases, for me, having a virtual cell phone number allows me to publish it anywhere without the worry of spam (you can always change the number if needed easily using textmagic website). I use this service for many sites and services that require phone number confirmation and I rather not share my personal phone to avoid ads and sales calls.
signing up on the textmagic site was very easy, the website has a simple and clear user interface. Sending SMS messages is as easy as adding the recipient(s) and typing the message.
A free trial is available (you get a few credits to test it out when you sign up).
A couple of features that not all the competitors I've looked at offer are: notification if a message was not delivered successfully and the fact that your credit doesn't expire (unlike some companies that limit the time in which you can use your paid credit.
The service seems to be reliable, I can't recall having an issue with it (however, I'm not a heavy user).
Overall, I recommend this service to anyone.

There is not much not to like about the textmagic service.
While their prices are very reasonable, there are cheaper solutions available for online SMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can copy and paste from my desktop and sending texts are much quicker, we use it for businss Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Can't send and receive images, photos, etc and don't believe that the person who replies understands that and there should be a message back to them saying failed or unable to send/ receive photos, we are constantly telling people this. Would be good if this feature was enabled, we are automotive business so pictures of parts, rego's kms, would be good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For my small eyecare practice, other options are not cost-effective. Text Magic has enabled us to text our patients for appointments, communications, etc. We use the templates extensively, so my staff time is small. Patients love it, my staff loves it, I love it!

We had some issues when the 10DLC system went down, and we had to pay an extra $10 a month for a toll-free number. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
