Text.com is a business SMS/texting platform for two-way conversations with customers — appointment reminders, support, marketing texts.
When to stick with Text.com
Fits best for client businesses (salons, clinics, local services) that live and die on appointment no-show rates.
When to look elsewhere
SMS marketing has real compliance requirements (opt-in, TCPA in the US) — factor that into client setup, it's not just 'add a phone number.'
Alternatives worth checking
- LiveChat or HelpDesk if the client's channel is web chat
- not SMS
