This guide will walk you through the simple process to ensure your toll-free number is registered and ready for reliable SMS messaging.
Why Register Your Toll-Free Number?
Registration is a requirement in order to use your Textedly account. You must have a website, terms of service, and privacy policy to do so. Registering your number helps to ensure that your messages are delivered reliably and prevents issues such as filtering or blocking by carriers. Additionally, it provides better protection against spam or fraudulent messaging, enhancing the trustworthiness of your communications.
