Text to landline is the enabling of text messaging on a landline phone number so that it can be used for two-way messaging and mass texting. In addition to existing landlines, new local and toll free numbers can be secured for text messaging.
Setting up your landline to send and receive texts allows you to engage with people that may not want to pick up the phone to call but still need to communicate with you. If you aren’t currently using a text to landline service, it's likely that you're missing the text messages that people are trying to send to you.
Enabling a landline for texting is simple. Phone numbers support two things: voice and text. All landlines are voice-enabled, however, most ignore their ability to send or receive text messages. Because voice and text are two completely separate functions, they work independently from each other. This allows us to handle your business text messaging while your phone company handles the voice.
Getting your landline set up to send and receive text messages is a painless process that is handled entirely by us. Simply follow the instructions outlined in your account, and the rest is on us. It can take up to two weeks to get the number up and running. Once set up, all of your text messages and two-way conversations can be managed by our beginner-friendly dashboard. You'll be able to see who's texting you and respond back within a shared inbox. You can even use our mobile app for managing your messages on the go.
Our two-way text messaging Inbox is just one of the tools available with SlickText. We also include text automations, personalized messaging, beautiful analytics, and list growth tools in every user account. Get started today to see why customers rate SlickText as the #1 landline texting service.
With text messaging as the most popular method for communication, your landline should definitely be text-enabled. Here are just a few reasons why.
Statistics on text messaging show that 85% of customers needing to reach a business prefer text messages over a phone call or email. As millennials and Gen Z become a larger part of your customer base, they won’t want to receive calls from you—and they’ll probably ignore you if you do call. Give them the support they desire via SMS.
94% of businesses using text messaging to connect with their customers have found it to be a successful method of communication and would recommend it to their colleagues. Now that landline texting is becoming a more common occurrence, customers are going to expect that they can text you. Additionally, there's a high likelihood that they already are! Those are not messages you want to be missing out on.
Your customers are constantly on the go and rarely have time to be put on hold. Texting enables them to get answers in the most convenient way. Pile on all the robo calls that most people get these days, and you'll see why people would rather text you. In fact, 71% of consumers have said using text messages to connect with their favorite businesses was highly effective.
