Toll-free text messaging allows businesses to send and receive SMS and MMS messages using their toll-free numbers. Customers can text your toll-free number from their cell phones, and you can manage these messages through email or an online dashboard.
How It Works:
Customer Sends a Text: A customer sends an SMS or MMS to your toll-free number.
Message Delivery:
- Email: The text is converted into an email and sent to your designated notification email address.
- Online Dashboard: Alternatively, you can access the message through Unitel Voice's texting dashboard.
Your Response:
- Email Reply: Respond directly to the email, and your reply is sent back to the customer as a text from your toll-free number.
- Dashboard Reply: Use the online dashboard to reply, and the customer receives your message as a text.
Benefits:
