Business Messaging / Texting From Work Phone Numbers

Employees relying on personal cell phones to text with clients, vendors, and other employees presents numerous challenges.

The enterprise is opened to legal issues, lost data, and security and compliance risks. Additionally, a lack of oversight can harm the customer experience and diminishes your communications and branding efforts.

Texting from a business line, using the same number for voice calls, mitigates these issues. Plus, it’s available from a Web portal or integrated directly into Microsoft Teams … from any device!

Why choose Business Messaging / SMS?

The use cases for business messaging are exploding:

  • Healthcare professionals need a way to have a quick, HIPAA / HITRUST compliant conversation with a colleague.
  • HR, General Counsel or other legal entities need to ensure company information is shared appropriately and tracked easily.
  • Sales needs to connect with customers without sharing personal phone information.
  • Employees need to have quick, secure conversations with each other.
