Texting as it ships today, on FL Permit Pay's number. Your own number still means carrier paperwork and a wait.
The FL Permit Pay texting card in Settings for a company already texting on the shared toll-free number: the stamp reading Texting is on, the number, the sentence saying every text starts with the company name, and the two buttons that check the setup.

    Three things, and you are texting.

    1. Step 1

      Turn it on with your company name

      In Settings, type the name a homeowner should see, give a support contact, and tick the line that says you only text customers who agreed to hear from you. That is the whole setup. No EIN, nothing to file with the phone carriers, and no waiting: the switch is done when you press it.

    2. Step 2

      Get the customer's OK on file

      Texting stays shut on a customer until their consent is recorded. Until it is, the message box says "Record proof of texting consent in Setup before sending." and Send will not go. If they text STOP, it stops, at every company on the number at once.

    3. Step 3

      Text from the job, read the reply in your Inbox

      Write from the job or from the Inbox. Every text goes out starting with your company name, so the homeowner knows who is writing, and the count under the box counts that name too because the bill does. Nothing sends outside daytime hours: the window runs 8 AM to 9 PM in the homeowner's own time zone unless you change it. Her answer lands in your Inbox, and back on the job's own thread when the phone network tells us which text she answered.

    Stop texting customers from your own phone.

    Turn texting on, and keep the whole thread where the rest of the company can read it.
