SMS Messaging Solutions

What is business SMS messaging?

Business SMS messaging lets companies send and receive text messages from their existing business phone numbers — from appointment reminders and customer-service replies to high-volume A2P (application-to-person) campaigns. Iristel's messaging solutions support both light conversational texting and large-scale bulk notifications, with 10DLC-compliant delivery for reliable, secure reach across Canada and the US.

Businesses that use SMS messaging see an average 45% response rate, compared to just 6% for email campaigns.
