Feature Highlights

Everything You Need for Business Texting

Business SMS and MMS give your team a professional texting channel that stays with your business — not with an employee's personal phone.

Send & Receive SMS

Text customers directly from your business DID. They see your company phone number, not a personal cell. Replies come back to your portal — threaded and searchable.

MMS — Photos & Documents

Send and receive pictures, PDFs, and other files via MMS. Perfect for sharing invoices, before-and-after photos, or signed documents with customers.

Web Portal Access

Send and view message threads from any browser. No special app or software to install. Log in from your desk, laptop, or tablet to manage conversations.

Shared Number, Multiple Staff

Multiple team members can monitor and respond to texts on the same business number. No messages fall through the cracks when someone is out of the office.

Professional & Private

Keep business conversations separate from personal texts. Staff never have to share their personal cell number with customers, clients, or vendors.

Included Free

Business SMS and MMS are included with your VoipPlus service at no additional charge. No per-message fees, no add-on packages, no surprise costs.
