Why businesses must use landline texting for effective support service?

Why businesses must use landline texting for effective support service?

Wednesday September 06, 2017 , 2 min Read

According to studies millions of SMS get sent to a landline number daily. As these landline numbers are not text enabled these messages never reached to the concerned department and that’s why they could never respond or react on the raised concern. On the other hand, the customers who are unaware of the fact that the sent SMS is never received get a sense that the business they are dealing with is unprofessional with an extremely poor support service that doesn't even care to respond to the customer concern.
