Categories
How long does it take for my text message to deliver?
▼
Messages are typically delivered within seconds of being sent. Delivery times can vary slightly based on carrier traffic and network conditions, but the vast majority of messages arrive almost instantly. Our real-time dashboard lets you track delivery status for every message.
Which phones can receive text messages?
▼
Any mobile phone that supports SMS can receive text messages through our platform. This includes both smartphones and basic feature phones. Our list validation feature automatically filters out landline numbers to help reduce failed sends and optimize your delivery rates.
Are all text messages guaranteed to deliver?
▼
While no messaging platform can guarantee 100% delivery due to carrier filtering and recipient phone status, we maintain an industry-leading 99.2% delivery rate. Our active monitoring team works around the clock to ensure maximum deliverability, and our confirmed delivery reporting gives you full visibility into every message.
Are the messages true peer to peer?
▼
Yes! Our platform uses true peer-to-peer (P2P) messaging technology. Each message is sent individually from a real phone number, ensuring compliance with carrier regulations and providing the highest possible delivery rates. This also means recipients can reply directly, enabling genuine two-way conversations.
Does Texting For Less charge for incoming text messages?
▼
No — incoming replies are always free. You only pay for outbound messages that you send. This makes it easy to maintain real two-way conversations with your contacts without worrying about additional costs piling up from responses.
Is there a limit in characters per text message?
▼
Standard SMS messages support up to 160 characters. However, with our MMS messaging capability, you can send messages up to 2,000 characters along with images, GIFs, and videos. MMS messages allow you to deliver rich, impactful content that drives higher engagement rates.
Are there any setup fees or minimum commitments?
▼
No. There are zero setup fees and zero minimum commitments. We believe in transparent, flat-rate pricing that makes it easy to budget for your campaigns. You only pay for what you send, with flexible billing options to match your needs.
How does Texting for Less handle 10DLC compliance?
▼
We handle all 10DLC registration and compliance requirements for you. Our dedicated team of compliance experts manages the entire process from start to finish, ensuring your campaigns are fully TCPA and carrier compliant so you can focus on your messaging strategy.
Is peer-to-peer texting legal for political campaigns?
▼
Yes. P2P texting is legal for political campaigns and is widely used by campaigns at every level — from local races to national elections. As a peer-to-peer platform, messages are sent individually rather than in bulk, which complies with TCPA regulations. We ensure all campaigns operate within legal guidelines.
Does the sending service cost extra?
▼
No. Our US-based sending team is included at no additional cost. While other platforms charge extra for this service — or don't offer it at all — we believe it's a core part of delivering the best possible experience for our clients. Your team handles the strategy, our team handles the sending.
