Business text message service FAQs

Business text messaging is a fast and effective way for businesses to communicate with customers, employees, patients, students, and clients with a short messaging service (SMS) and multimedia messaging service (MMS) and using two-way communication. Using a business texting service can help organize and streamline communication efforts across your organization and with your contacts on a channel with a 98% open rate, instant delivery, and responses in minutes. 97% of companies with text‑enabled lines report improved communication efficiency, reducing back‑and‑forth and missed connections.

Business texting is useful for marketing campaigns, emergency alerts, sales alerts, scheduling and booking confirmations, patient communication, community communication, and customer support.

You’ve got a lot of options when it comes to setting up a phone number for texting.

A great way to build trust with contacts is to register for a local number or 10DLC, which is a 10-digit long code that allows businesses to send text messages to customers from a local number for any “application to person,” or A2P messaging (meaning they’re sent from messaging software) in a way that doesn’t feel spammy.

You can also register for a dedicated short code, which are a good fit for large organizations sending bulk SMS and MMS texts regularly. Short codes are 5- to 6-digit numbers that are easy for customers to remember.

Finally, you can use a toll-free number for texting, but you’ll need to register and verify that number.

When you sign up for a Sinch Engage account, we’ll guide you through the process of obtaining and verifying phone numbers for messaging.

Send MMS with images, GIFs, and rich media to showcase products or how‑tos.

Business texting is useful for just about any organization and use case because it’s both easy to use and customizable to your business needs. It’s especially useful for businesses wanting to communicate en masse to their contact list and for real-time communication with segments or groups within a larger contact list.

Retail, healthcare, education, hospitality, service-based businesses, nonprofits, religious organization, and fitness or wellness brands benefit quite a bit from business texting because it’s so useful for scheduling and confirming appointments, secure messaging with patients or parents, targeted promotions, personalized follow-ups, surveys, and real-time alerts.
