Save on costs

A toll-free service is a popular alternative to short codes, as you won’t need to pay all carriers extra surcharges.

How toll-free SMS can help your business

Enhance customer service, boost brand awareness, and broadcast SMS and MMS messages in high volumes.

Customer Support

  • Run cost-effective campaigns

    Send mass marketing messages from a dedicated A2P business number that both customers and carriers trust. Start texting without a timely application process or having to pay all carriers extra surcharges.

  • Enjoy two-way messaging

    Your recipients can reply and initiate conversations via SMS when sending from the United States and Canada. Text and voice enabling your 800 phone number creates a seamless experience for your customers.

  • Create tailored experiences

    Our text messaging portal allows you to save time without sacrificing personalization. Automate SMS replies by setting up keywords and customize messages by using custom fields, such as first names and dates.

Ways to use

Messaging from a consistent sender ID can help to grow your audience, increase trust, and improve communication.

SMS marketing campaigns

Send ‘back in-stock’ alerts, special discount offers, and more to your contact list. Track engagement by using Short Trackable Links

Feedback and surveys

Get to know your customers by collecting feedback via SMS surveys. Resolve issues quickly and boost your brand.

Appointment reminders

Reduce costly no-shows by automatically sending appointment reminders. Include a reply option to get confirmations.

Notifications and alerts

Encourage community members to opt-in by texting your toll-free number so they can receive time-sensitive notifications.
