What is VoIP Texting?

Think of it this way… a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a technology that enables individuals to make phone calls directly over the internet. Some common VoIP providers are AirCall , CallRail , and RingCentral.

A VoIP texting service allows you to use that same virtual phone number to send and receive text messages online (as long as there’s an internet connection). Since there isn’t a physical mobile device associated with a VoIP number, users can ultimately send SMS and MMS messages to their contacts from a desktop, iPad, or with an SMS application like Sakari.

 

Benefits of VoIP Text Messaging

When you think of business texting , the most common options for phone numbers are typically local numbers, toll-free numbers, or existing landline numbers. However, there are definitely some neat advantages when it comes to using SMS with a VoIP number.

  • Multiple users can share the same phone number and access it through different devices like laptops, desktops, etc.
  • Costs for phone equipment and infrastructure are completely eliminated.
  • Simple and hassle-free maintenance (and no phone wiring through your office!)
  • The foundation for your VoIP SMS is literally your WiFi, existing ethernet, or other Internet connection.
  • You can do everything in one centralized location- make calls, send texts, manage contacts, and more.
