Your Customers Want to Text Your Business.
Phonewire lets your existing business phone number send and receive text messages — without changing your phone service provider, your carrier, or your phone system. Start in minutes.
Business texting used to be impossible — your main office number couldn’t send or receive SMS. Those days are over. Phonewire’s business text messaging service activates SMS on your existing business phone number, so customers can text you the same number they already call — and you don’t have to change your carrier, your phone system, or your monthly service.
Truth Is, Text Is Better.
Customers prefer texting for routine matters — it’s faster, more convenient, and less disruptive than a phone call. Whether they’re asking about availability, scheduling an appointment, or following up on a service, texting lets them connect on their terms without putting anyone on hold.
And now your familiar business number — the one they already have in their contacts — becomes a two-way text conversation.
- Works with your existing business phone number
- No change to your monthly phone service provider
- Customers text your number like any other cell phone
- No app needed on the customer’s end — just standard SMS
Save Your Thumbs.
You don’t manage business communication from a tiny cell phone screen — and now you don’t have to manage business texts that way either. Send and receive texts from a full keyboard on your Windows PC or Mac using Phonewire’s desktop app.
Multiple employees can share a single business number, see incoming texts, and respond — just like a shared phone line, but for texting.
- Full desktop app for Windows, Mac, and web browser
- Mobile apps for iPhone, Android, and tablet
- Multiple employees share one business number
- Pop-up notifications when new texts arrive
- Shortcuts, automated replies, and message templates
Build More Loyalty.
Texting enables customers to connect with your business as conveniently as they would with a friend. When they can reach you quickly — and actually get a timely response — they stay engaged, feel valued, and keep coming back.
Go further: send group texts to your VIP client list, announce special offers, or trigger automated replies so no message goes unanswered.
- Respond to questions and solve problems in real time
- Send group texts to your VIP client list
- Announce promotions and special discounts
- Set up automated replies for after-hours or high volume
