AnswerNet Launches TextMyBusiness to Enable Companies to Communicate Via Text On Their Business Phone Numbers

AnswerNet, a leading full-service provider of inbound, outbound, automated, and BPO contact center solutions, proudly announces the launch of its newest service, TextMyBusiness (TMB). TextMyBusiness is designed to move business text communications off of personal employee cell numbers and on to business numbers owned and controlled by the business without losing the immediacy of text communications.

As texting continues to grow in popularity as people’s preferred method of communication, businesses have struggled to add software tools that make it easy for businesses to communicate in this channel. TextMyBusiness provides those companies looking to embrace this need with a quick and simple way to text-enable their business phone numbers and transform how they connect with their customers, employees, and the public through personalized, real-time text interactions.

“Our clients and all businesses have struggled separating their business text communications from their employees’ personal cell phone numbers,” said Gary Pudles, President and CEO of AnswerNet. “Businesses need to communicate via text on business software and on mobile devices where the communications can be managed and saved by the business. As texting becomes more common as a means of business communications, the risks to businesses who allow texting on personal employee numbers rises exponentially. AnswerNet and its predecessors have been helping businesses communicate via voice for over 100 years, and now we’re focused on helping our clients communicate via text in the most efficient way.”
