Why Should Your Business Use Toll-Free Texting?
Building a brand requires memorability and responsiveness. Two things that come with the toll-free text marketing territory. These are just a few of the reasons you may want to talk to a toll free SMS service provider.
Choose Your Number
With toll-free texting you have the choice: choose a new toll-free number, or text-enable your current one. If customers are already familiar with your contact info, there’s no need to change it up; vanity numbers give you the choice to go with a catchy, memorable option in any other case. You can even switch to a number with a specific, local area code for added trust.
Unlock the full range of benefits text marketing has to offer. Toll-free text messaging is approved to not only send out mass texts, but to facilitate one-on-one customer conversations as well. This gives you the chance to connect with every lead and deliver 5-star service.
Toll-free numbers maintain the ability, once text-enabled, to receive calls just as any other 10-digit line would. This means, for existing numbers, calls continue to go through as normal. For newly purchased toll free numbers, simply choose to enable them for calling upon purchase.

A Comparison of Different Types of Texting
To give you the big picture, we compared the main characteristics of short code, long code, and toll-free texting.
Texting is much more convenient because it gives customers control over their time. Plus, it reduces call volume on your end. They send you a text, and you send a response when a real human is available.
In addition to 1-on-1 communications, you can use toll-free texting to send mass campaigns to everyone who’s opted in to your list. You can’t do that kind of texting with a regular long code number.
Texting is the perfect medium for sending customer satisfaction surveys and noninvasive follow up touches that contribute to overall customer retention efforts.
