Features / Two-way texting

Text with customers from your business number.

On the Real Talk plan, customers can text your business number and you reply from FrontDesk Talk. Calls, texts, and Talk Notes sit in one place.

How it works

1

A customer texts your number

The same number they already call. No new number to hand out.

2

It shows up in FrontDesk Talk

Right next to their calls and Talk Notes, so you have the whole story.

3

You reply

Answer from FrontDesk Talk and the customer sees it come from your business number.

What you get

Your business number

Customers text the number they already know. Your cell stays private.

One inbox

Calls, texts, and Talk Notes sit together, so nothing gets lost between apps.

Pairs with Talk Back

Talk Back is our missed-call text back. Callers who hang up early get a text, and the conversation keeps going.

Registered texting

Texting from a business number needs carrier registration, the same as any business that texts customers.
