Business Text Messaging Service
When customers don't pick up the phone, they still read texts — and most prefer it. A reliable business text messaging service lets your team send and receive SMS from your business number, not a personal cell, so every conversation stays professional, trackable, and on-brand. In fact, most consumers want to hear from businesses by text, yet very few businesses actually text them — a gap your competitors are leaving open. Dial Raven's business SMS is built into the same platform as your cloud phone system, so calls, texts, and messages live in one place. Most businesses are fully live in under 24 hours. If your team is missing follow-ups or customers go silent after the first call, business SMS closes that gap.
Key features
Everything you need, included and ready to use from day one.
Two-Way Messaging
Customers reply to your texts and your team responds in real time from desktop or the mobile app. No forwarding, no confusion about which employee owns the conversation — every thread stays visible to the team.
Text-Enable Your Existing Number
You don't need a new number. Text-enable your existing business line or landline so customers can call or text the same number they already know — no change to your voice service required.
Bulk Messaging & Broadcasts
Send appointment reminders, promotions, or service updates to your entire contact list in one send — each message appears as a personal text, not a blast. Ideal for healthcare, hospitality, and service teams managing high appointment volume.
Automation & Auto-Replies
Send automatic appointment reminders 24 hours before a visit, trigger a follow-up text after a missed call, and set after-hours auto-replies. These automations increase response rates without adding headcount.
Message Archiving & Compliance
Every text is stored, searchable, and tied to the customer record — with opt-out and consent tracking built in. This matters for compliance-sensitive industries like healthcare and legal, and for any business that needs a record of what was promised.
Desktop & Mobile Access
Manage SMS from a browser or the Dial Raven mobile app — the same app your team uses for calls and voicemail. No switching platforms, no duplicate notifications, one unified workspace.

Business SMS — common questions
Quick answers about features, pricing, and setup.
What is a business text messaging service?
It's a platform that lets your business send and receive SMS from your business number — with two-way conversations, a shared team inbox, bulk messaging, automation, and archiving. Unlike texting from a personal phone, it keeps every message professional, trackable, and compliant. Dial Raven builds it into the same platform as your phone system.
Can I text from my existing business number or landline?
Yes. Dial Raven text-enables your existing business line or landline, so customers can call or text the same number they already know. There's no need for a new number and no change to your voice service.
How is business SMS different from texting on a personal phone?
A personal phone exposes your staff's number, keeps no shared record, and can't be managed by a team. Business SMS uses your business number, gives the whole team a shared inbox, archives every message, tracks opt-outs for compliance, and automates reminders and replies.
Can my whole team use the same number?
Yes. Multiple team members can send and reply from the same business number through a shared inbox, so no conversation gets missed and everyone sees the full history — without anyone using a personal device.
Can I send bulk texts and appointment reminders?
Yes. Send appointment reminders, promotions, and updates to your whole contact list in one send, with each message appearing as a personal text. You can also automate reminders 24 hours before a visit and trigger follow-ups after a missed call.
Is business texting compliant?
Dial Raven includes opt-out and consent tracking so your business stays TCPA-aware, and archives every message for a complete record. This is especially important for healthcare, legal, and financial teams with compliance requirements.
How much does business SMS cost?
Dial Raven's business SMS starts at $14.99/user/month with no setup fees and no long-term contracts, and it's included in the same platform as your calls. Request a free quote for pricing tailored to your team size.
