Frequently asked questions about two-way messaging
Can you reply to a text message from a business?
If the company uses a text messaging platform or number that allows responses, then you can reply to a text message.
However, if they use a number or system that does not facilitate replies, then the answer is no. For example, if the Sender ID uses a name instead of a phone number, you’ll be unable to respond.
On a positive note, most businesses allow replies or use an SMS Messenger app (similar to ours). It's a great way to be accessible on everyone’s favourite channel — text.
