Landline Texting for Businesses
Meet customers where they are using the landline or VoIP number they already know and trust.
Why TextBetter
Why text-enable a landline?
Text-enable your landline or existing VoIP number so customers can text the number they already recognize. Voice calls continue exactly as they do today with no porting, downtime, or changes to your phone service.
Familiarity
Keep the same local identity and brand trust your business has today. There is no need to change existing phone numbers. Your existing business line simply becomes text-enabled.
Simplicity
TextBetter’s white-glove support team handles the entire 10DLC (10-Digit Long Code) registration process for you. Once approved, most businesses can launch texting in less than 30 minutes with no downtime.
Engagement
Customers respond faster to text than email or phone calls, making SMS one of the most effective communication channels. At least three quarters of U.S. adults text regularly, and studies show text reminders boost attendance at lower cost than phone calls.
Platforms
Text-enabled landline platforms
Send and receive text messages from your landline using familiar tools, while keeping your voice service, business number, and workflows unchanged.
Web & mobile apps
Access and respond to text messages sent to your landline using TextBetter’s secure web and mobile apps. Messages remain centralized and synced across devices, allowing multiple team members to reply from the same business number without using personal phones. Whether your team is in the office, working remotely, or on the go, everyone can respond from a consistent business line while keeping conversations visible and organized.
Email to text
Send and receive text messages from your landline directly through your existing email inbox. Our Email to Text option enables users to reply using familiar email tools without onboarding new software or changing workflows. Messages are accessible from any email client on desktop or mobile and automatically inherit existing security, compliance, archiving, and retention controls. This option is ideal for businesses that want landline texting to fit seamlessly into established email-based operations.
