Callfora business SMS conversation next to the shared conversation list

Guide

Business SMS belongs on the number

A customer who texts the office number expects the office to see it. That only works if SMS is on the phone system, not on one person's device.

Real Callfora workspace. Shared inboxes are on Professional and above.

Why personal SMS fails a team

Personal SMS can work for one owner-operator. A team needs the thread in its organization workspace: assignment, history, and the same number that rings the desk.

Callfora includes SMS and MMS on provisioned numbers. Shared inboxes are on Professional and above. Team chat is a separate thread next to the customer conversation.

Registration comes first

Carriers require business text messaging to be registered before traffic is accepted, for example 10DLC brand and campaign registration in the United States. Calling works while registration is pending.

Questions teams ask next
