Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to notify my current phone provider about Textel?

No. Our system operates independently of your landline or toll-free provider and both the set up as well as billing will not affect your relationship or service with your phone carrier.

Do I need to install additional hardware or do anything to my phone system to prepare to have my number text enabled?

No. Texting is done from your computer or mobile devices and requires no additional hardware, software or manipulation of your phone system. Our implementation is completely out of scope of your IT and Tele-communicaions infrastructure. Zipwhip, our web application, supports Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer 8 and above. We also recommend downloading the desktop app which is available for Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems.

Do I need to sign a contract?

No. Our contracts are month-to-month and you can cancel at any time. We do however offer discounts for plans that are paid for on an annual basis.

Can I use Textel for sms marketing the way short code companies do?

Textel is a peer-to-peer communication service that is used to build and enhance customer relationships on a personal, individual level. Short code texting, on the other hand, is more expensive and used for mass marketing purposes. Long code texting like our landline and toll free services utilize your company’s existing phone number as opposed to short codes that use a different number that may be unfamiliar to customers. We do not condone the use of this service to solicit wireless subscribers with any unwanted text messages. We have a zero tolerance policy for SMS spam and reserve the right to immediately cancel the service for any user that does so.

Stay Connected on the Go
