Business Texting / SMS
Send and receive business text messages from your main business number
What it is
Business texting enables your organization to send and receive SMS and MMS messages from your main business phone number rather than employees' personal devices. Messages are routed through a centralized platform with templates, scheduled sending, conversation threading, and CRM integration. Multiple team members can manage conversations with handoff capabilities, ensuring customers get timely responses even when the original contact is unavailable.
Why it matters
Customers increasingly prefer texting over phone calls. But when employees use personal phones, conversations are untracked, unarchived, and lost when they leave. Business texting keeps communications on business systems where they can be managed, measured, and audited.
What to expect
Setup involves enabling SMS capabilities on your existing business phone numbers and configuring the messaging platform. Integration with CRM or scheduling systems is typically included. Deployment takes a few days.

Common questions
Can we text from our existing phone number?
In most cases, yes. Text-enabling an existing landline or VoIP number allows you to receive and send texts from the number your customers already know.
