Calldrip Adds Hosted SMS to Product Suite | Calldrip

Everyone knows that SMS is a great way to reach your prospects and customers. 98% of text messages are opened  with 95% read within 3 minutes.  Thats why we are excited to announce that hosted SMS is now included in our suite of tools.

Now all Calldrip customers can receive texts to their business's existing phone number - even if it's a landline!

Calldrip's Hosted SMS adds text messaging capability to a business's existing voice-enabled numbers and landlines. This allows a business to expand channels of engagement to include messaging. Our service makes it easy to get the benefits of messaging from landlines that aren't traditionally SMS-enabled.

Another huge advantage of Calldrip's hosted SMS messaging is that it enables SMS messaging, all while keeping the same number your business has always used. This allows a business to maintain branding and avoid confusion by sending and receiving SMS notifications from their existing business number. 

For example, if your company calls customers to confirm appointments, you can instead utilize SMS from the same number. This improves efficiency and is seamless for the customer, because the number utilized is the familiar business line.

With this service, you add the benefit of SMS all while keeping the same numbers and the same providers.

The best part is that Hosted SMS is included at no additional charge to our current Calldrip customers.
