Texty Pro can text-enable your existing business landline or Voice over IP number to give your customers an option to text you on the same number they’ve been calling you on. You don't need expensive equipment or a landline phone with texting capabilities to text from a landline. All you need to text using your landline number is Texty Pro and a computer or a mobile device. You'll be able to read and reply to the business text messages from any device or a computer you already own and you’ll still be able to talk on the phone just as you normally would as it does not affect your phone service. Texting from a landline is free for 14 days for businesses.

You can send to up to 10 recipients at a time. Unlike group chats in apps like iMessage, SMS does not support group messaging where participants see each other’s responses. This approach ensures privacy and clarity while still allowing efficient outreach to multiple contacts. Keep reading to learn more.

If you compose a message longer than 160 characters, Texty Pro splits it into multiple segments, each using an additional SMS credit. So a 300-character message would count as two credits. Keep in mind that using non-GSM characters, like emojis, will reduce the allowed characters per segment due to encoding differences. Keep reading to learn more.
