How Does It Work When You Text a Landline?

If your customers message your non-text enabled business number, their texts go nowhere. The good news? Text-to-landline can be set up in just three simple steps.

1. Pick Your Number

We can text enable your existing landline number if your customers are already familiar with it. We can also set you up with a complimentary toll-free number, or select a new 10-digit number with an area code of your choice!

2. Send A Message

Send out your first group message or chat 1-on-1 with customers. From sales texts to fielding customer service questions, begin to communicate with your audience in a way that serves your needs and theirs!

3. Manage Replies

When your customers start to text you, you’ll want to be sure to answer in a timely fashion. Sort and respond to messages directly from your desktop inbox or on the go with the SimpleTexting mobile app for iOS and Android.
