Business SMS Text Messaging Solutions

Business text messaging has become just as prevalent as communicating via voice call, web chat, and email. Most business owners understand that business text messaging is a valuable tool that will enhance the customer engagement process and increase their bottom line.

However, many companies that are already using a business SMS service are not using it as a truly unified solution. Some companies use random 5-digit codes with canned responses- which consequently leads to the customer calling in for support.

ACC Telecom’s SMS services provide text messaging via your business phone numbers, not short codes.  Companies can use the same phone numbers for messaging that they use for voice calling.

Why should I implement a SMS Text Messaging Solution for my business?

Texting offers a simpler, better customer experience for providing quick answers or updates such as payment confirmations, product availability, shipping alerts, and scheduling appointments.  Data shows that more than half of consumers would prefer texting with customer support over other communication methods (eWeek).

What if my phone numbers are with a different carrier?

We can port (transfer) only the SMS portion of phone numbers without impacting your calling services or canceling service with your existing voice carrier.  Any phone number, with the exception of wireless numbers, are eligible for this solution.

Does this service support MMS (picture & video) messaging?

Yes, MMS messaging is supported on inbound & outbound messages depending on the SMS solution you choose.

MMS messaging is widely used by service companies for quoting purposes.  For example, a local landscaper has clients text pictures of their yards for service estimates– eliminating costly (and frustrating) travel time.

How do other businesses use Business SMS?

Businesses use our SMS services for appointment scheduling, customer service & support, pricing information/quotes, daily specials, hours of operation, shipping status, payment questions, and so much more.  The possibilities are endless.

Can I receive text messages on my toll-free numbers too?

Yes, customers can text your toll-free numbers, main business phone numbers, and DIDs (direct dial phone numbers).

What is 10DLC/A2P SMS Compliancy?
10DLC/A2P SMS Text Messaging Compliancy is a new form of regulation to combat fraudulent and spam messages.  All businesses and organizations, including non-profits, must register their business phone numbers and company if sending text messages from their business phone numbers.

To learn more about 10DLC, visit our frequently asked questions page here.
