Prerequisites
There are a few things to be sure of before considering enabling and using the PrimeCall texting service:
- The telephone number must have SMS/MMS messaging enabled by our technical support team.
NOTE: You will need to be the owner of the account to enable the service with our Technical Support team.
- Your business must have a registered SMS Campaign.
Quick Tip: To learn more about registering a SMS campaign to allow for texting, read this article.
- The telephone number to be used for texting must be in service with a carrier that PrimeCall partners with that allows SMS/MMS services.
Note: In some cases, it may be necessary to port a number over to a carrier that allows SMS messaging in your area.
Carrier availability may be restricted by location.
- Only one number can be used for texting per account. This can be thought of as having "Company X" texting customers instead of each agent.
