Offer peace of mind.

By using the same sender ID each time, all your messages stay in a single, secure thread. Customers know it’s you.

 
The return on investment is amazing. It’s such a small price per text message, when you think about it, but we’ve been using them to get $90-$100 transactions. It’s just been really successful.

Here’s how a dedicated number can help your business boom.

Take customer service to the next level.

When it comes to great customer service, two-way chat is where it’s at. And you’ll need a dedicated virtual number to make the most of these helpful chats.

Keep track of all your conversations.

With a dedicated virtual number, all of your conversation threads are stored in your inbox. Both you and your customers can easily refer back to past messages.

Save time with automated sending.

Free up your team’s time by setting up automatic responses to common queries. Then, when a customer sends you a message, you can ping them straight back with an answer.

FAQs

Both are dedicated — as in, yours and yours alone.

But a dedicated alpha tag, also known as an alphanumeric sender ID, can only send texts one-way (unlike a dedicated virtual number, which you can use to send and receive SMS).

With this in mind, alpha tags are ideal for things like two-factor authentication and SMS marketing that doesn’t require a reply.

If you don’t use a dedicated mobile number or alpha tag, your SMS messages will be sent from our shared numbers pool. Shared numbers come with your account at no extra cost, but each message is sent from a different number. Your customers can still reply and unsubscribe to these messages — but your messages won’t appear as a single thread on their phone.

All our plans (except the Basics plan) come with one dedicated number included.
