What is toll-free texting?
Effective communication with customers is essential for any business to thrive. The advent of technology has transformed the way businesses interact with their customers, and toll-free texting is one such innovation that has revolutionized customer communication.
A toll-free number is a telephone number that begins with a specific three-digit code (800, 888, 877, 866, 855, 855, or 833) that enables customers to make calls or send text messages to a business without incurring any charges. Instead, the business that owns the toll-free number pays for the cost of the call or message.
