### NEW FEATURES 

#### New sign-up process <a href="#manage-and-control-subscriptions" id="manage-and-control-subscriptions"></a>

It is now even easier for new users to start exploring Clickatell's product offering!

With this release, we've included a brand-new, simplified sign-up process. A few basic details and a click give new users immediate access to the user portal. This new one-step process gives new users access to the portal (albeit restricted), allowing them to explore Clickatell's products and channels and gather the information they require to make an informed decision. A user only needs to verify their email address when they want to gain full access to all the functionality available on the portal and to start using our products and channels.

This replaces the multi-step sign-up process where users had to create an account name and verify their email address before they could enter the portal.&#x20;

**Application of discount voucher codes**

We've added the ability to use discount vouchers issued by Clickatell as part of promotions we may run on our products and channels. When applicable, users can simply add a Clickatell-generated voucher code on the payments page to receive the applicable discount on that product.&#x20;
