While mobile phones dominate our communication landscape, the significance of landlines, especially for businesses, remains undeniable. In 2020, 40 percent of US households still relied on landlines, a drop from the 90 percent in 2004. But as texting becomes the preferred mode of communication, with 90% of adults owning a mobile device, businesses are left wondering: “Can our landlines send and receive texts?”

What Happens When You Text a Landline?

If a customer sends a text to a landline without the right technology in place, that message goes into the digital void. It’s a missed opportunity for businesses. However, with SMS Factory’s advanced solutions, businesses can both send and receive texts via their landlines. This two-way communication, coupled with integrated features, enhances customer interactions and drives business growth.

Why Text-to-Landline is Essential for Modern Businesses

The ability to send SMS to landlines has been around for nearly a decade. Its integration with technologies like VoIP has made it indispensable for businesses. Those not adopting this technology risk losing market share as customers increasingly favor texting.
