How long does it take to sign up and start texting from a landline?

Simple & Reliable Business Text Messaging Service

When you sign up to Texty Pro, your landline phone number will be text-enabled in less than a minute in most cases. All you have to do is simply sign up to a our business text messaging service and verify your phone number to provision the number for 10 Digit Long Code (10 DLC) messaging with us. There are rare instances where account setup could take longer.

Do You Already Have Texting Enabled on Your Landline?

It may take longer if your phone number has a block on it or if the phone number is already provisioned for SMS messaging through another service. If you already have text messaging enabled on your landline through a different text messaging provider such as Zipwhip, please be sure to cancel that service before you sign up to Texty Pro. Your phone number must be released by your current provider. Otherwise, it will take much longer to text using our service. Be sure to cancel and ask them to "release your phone number".
