The Situation with ZipWhip

Text My Main Number Features
Below are just some of our many texting features offered by Text My Main Number. What you’ll find is we offer many of the same if not more texting features than ZipWhip.
- Auto reply
Regardless of the business, you run, your inbox is likely filled with questions and inquiries. The auto-reply feature allows you to automate messages depending on keywords texted to your business phone number. Alternatively, the auto-reply feature is perfect to use for out-of-office or vacation messages.
- Scheduled texting
Perhaps you have an upcoming launch or announcement for your clients. If this is the case, you can easily schedule a message to be sent at the exact time and date that you need it to be sent. By writing a message beforehand and having the platform send it at a certain time, you won’t have to worry about forgetting your message.
- Direct chat messaging
Text My Main Number offers direct chat messaging so you can get into direct contact with your customers. This creates smoother communication and happier customers as a result.
- Survey Texting
You can send out a client survey conveniently over text when you sign up with Text My Main Number. This could be useful for those looking to gather more data on their customers to make the right business choices. Text messages receive a 98% open rate and are often responded to within 3 minutes. This means that you’ll receive the answers you want from customers in a short time.
- MMS
Rather than text messages, spice it up a bit from time to time and incorporate images or emojis. Many people are visual learners so they may benefit from seeing an infographic or image advertising your product.
