What it is

A real conversation, not a one-way blast

Two-way messaging means customers can text your number back — and you reply right from TextSpot, exactly like texting a friend. Every message lands in a shared inbox your team works from together.

Build real trust

People open texts and they answer them. A quick back-and-forth feels personal in a way email never will.

Save hours of phone tag

Answer questions, confirm details, and resolve issues over text instead of voicemails and hold music.

Turn replies into sales

Catch buyers at the exact moment they’re interested and guide them to checkout in a few taps.

Ways to use it

One inbox, every kind of conversation

Customer support

Solve problems without the phone queue

Customers would rather text than sit on hold. Handle questions, troubleshoot, and follow up — all asynchronously, so one teammate can help several people at once.

Two-way messaging, answered

What is two-way SMS messaging?

It’s texting where the conversation goes both ways: you send a message and the customer can reply, all on your business number. Their replies land in your TextSpot inbox so you can answer back.

Can customers text my number back?

Yes. Every TextSpot number can send and receive. Customers reply right from their phone’s normal texting app — no app or login required on their end.

Is it free to receive texts?

Yes — incoming messages are always free. Your credits are only used when you send a message out.

Can my whole team share one inbox?

Absolutely. Add teammates, assign conversations to the right person, and see the full history on every contact so anyone can pick up where someone left off.

Do customers need to download anything?

No. Messages arrive in their phone’s native texting app. There’s nothing to install for them — or for you, since TextSpot runs in your browser.

Start a conversation they’ll actually answer

Get your number and reply to your first customer in minutes — free to try, no card required.
