Toll-Free SMS
Toll-free texting for businesses
A dedicated toll-free number your contacts text — we handle carrier registration and provisioning.
What toll-free texting is
A 1-8xx number used for business SMS, not only voice. People recognize it. It works for mass send and two-way replies — the same number your contacts already trust, now built for texting.
Who uses it
Organizations that need to reach a lot of people quickly and reliably.
Schools
Closures, reminders, and alerts to parents and staff.
Cities
Service updates, outages, and public notices to residents.
Shops
Promotions, order updates, and back-in-stock texts.
Hospitals
Appointment confirmations and care instructions.
Events
Schedules and last-minute changes to attendees.
What we provision
Toll-Free is the self-serve default. We also provision 10DLC and Short Codes.

Self-serve $25/month plan
A dedicated toll-free number for mass texting and two-way replies. Included with the standard self-serve plan, plus a credit pack.

Self-serve $25/month plan
A local 10-digit long code registered for business messaging. Also available on the self-serve plan.
Get StartedShort Code
Contact Sales — not the self-serve plan
A 5-6 digit short code for high-volume programs. Short codes carry a higher monthly lease and hosting cost, but come with lower per-message rates. Textwire will beat any competing short-code messaging rate. Contact Sales for short codes.

After checkout and the provisioning form, your toll-free number is usually live in 3 to 5 business days. You can start sending as soon as that number is live.
What we collect for provisioning
This is the carrier packet we walk you through after payment — a guided form, not homework. It's what carriers require to register a business toll-free number.

Frequently asked questions
What is a text-enabled toll-free number?
It's a 1-8xx number used for business SMS, not just voice. Your contacts recognize it, and it works for both mass sends and two-way replies from one dashboard.
How long does provisioning take?
After checkout and the provisioning form, your toll-free number is usually live in 3 to 5 business days. You can start sending once that number is live.
Can I keep an existing toll-free number?
In many cases yes. If you already have a toll-free number, Contact Sales and we'll help you text-enable it.
Toll-free vs 10DLC vs short code?
Toll-Free and 10DLC are both available on the self-serve $25/month plan — toll-free is the default. Short codes are for high-volume programs: higher monthly lease and hosting, lower per-message rates, and set up through Sales rather than the self-serve plan.
How do I log in?
Your phone number is your username. After signup, a password is texted to the number you entered, and you log in at dashboard.textwire.com.
