Virtual numbers allow you to send and receive messages to and from that same number, ideal for 2-way message campaigns.
Promote your virtual mobile number through brochures, website and advertising campaigns. Create streamlined and cost-effective engagement with your clients and prospects. Customers can request information, opt-in to promotions or provide feedback. Use keywords to automate the process.
