Toll-Free Number Frequently Asked Questions

-
What is Toll-Free SMS?
A Toll-Free number supports both calls and texts, and so toll-free SMS refers to sending text messages to and from a number that also hosts voice.
This is the perfect option for businesses with high volume support services. If a phone line is busy with calls, an automated voice message can prompt waiting callers to opt for a call back with an SMS confirmation or begin a text exchange about their inquiry. Also, vice versa, an SMS exchange with a Support Team member can lead to a phone call if necessary. All using the same number!
