I'm the Director of Programming for a locally owned group of radio stations and we wanted to add texting to our existing request line numbers. During the trial period before subscribing to the full service the team at Texty was on hand, often times within a minute of messaging them to answer any questions I had regarding how the system worked and best practices for things like FCC disclosures.

Our company (Design Tree Maintenance) has been using Texty Pro for several months now. The system is virtually flawless and when I did have a problem I received help within just a minuet or two after sending an email about my issue. Excellent service! Excellent Product!

I had no clue about this company or the fact that our company used TextyPro. At first mention, our account had been suspended due to a payment issue. Not having a full grasp of the situation, I reached out to support with an SOS. I quickly got a call from David who was very kind and patient with me as he listened to my ranting of the whole matter. David then went over every aspect my problem in detail and offered helpful suggestions which assisted me in resolving the whole issue. Best Customer Service EVER!!!

the customer service and platform are fantastic. I will choose a company first every time who has a genuine representative on the other line! Thank you David and the TP team!

The set up was instant. I did get a notification that it could take up to 24-hours to send and receive texts from our existing, web-based phone lines, but it took about 24 seconds. There was an immediate issue, which had me scared, but a representative was live (a half-hour before their normal hours of business) within a minute and kept me on the chat while their team of engineers untangled it, which took about 25 minutes. I was blown away at the live service and how ready their engineers were. So far, very impressed.
