What is an sms number?
An SMS number or Texting number is a phone number that businesses use to send and receive text messages with their customers. Unlike personal numbers, SMS numbers are set up through a business texting platform and can be dedicated (assigned only to your business) or shared. Businesses use SMS numbers for promotions, reminders, alerts, two-way conversations, and customer support.
Let's now see how to choose the right number for your Business Texting
Before you start sending SMS marketing messages, it is important to choose the right type of number for your business.
There are three main options:
Local Number or 10 Digit Long Code [Ex: (201) 123-4567 ] Toll-Free Numbers or TFN [Ex: (800)/(888)/(877)/(866) 123-4567 ] Dedicated Short Codes. (Ex: 34343)
Local Numbers
Local Numbers also call as 10 Digit Long Code(10 DLC) are the most common type of business texting number that can support a high volume of text messages.10DLCs offer many mass SMS features at an affordable cost. This makes 10DLC an excellent SMS solution for many businesses.
Toll-Free Numbers
Toll-Free Numbers are also easy for customers to remember, but they are free for customers to call. This can make them a good option for businesses that want to encourage customers to contact them by text. It is perfect for business that require high-volume of text messaging at scale and fast deliverability.
Dedicated Shortcode
Dedicated Short Codes are 5-6 digit numbers that are specifically designed for business use. They are less common than local numbers or toll-free numbers, but they can be a good option for businesses that want to create a unique and memorable identity for their SMS marketing campaigns.
The best type of number for your business will depend on your specific needs and budget. When evaluating these messaging options for your business, it is important to remember the amount of speed, deliverability, message reliability, and credibility you need.
