Toll-Free US numbers are designated for business messaging use by all major carriers in the United States, and by most major mobile carriers in Canada. Although originally popular due to no cost for external contacts, in the age of unlimited calling and data plans, not being connected to a specific location or area code (giving national appeal) makes Toll-Free numbers a popular choice for businesses.
You can easily get your Toll-Free number by accessing: Admin Dashboard > Phone Numbers and then clicking the upper right button Get a Number.
Search for a Toll-free number using the drop-down menu.
Toll-Free Texting Requires Verification
Unregistered text/SMS messages sent via a toll-free number is not guaranteed to be delivered. Although it leaves the smrtPhone system as expected, many receiving carriers are filtering out messages from unregistered senders.
Toll-Free Verification is presently required in the US and Canada to improve deliverability. Please complete the Verification process as soon as possible to avoid traffic being blocked (Canada) or traffic subject to increased filtering and daily limits on sending (US).
If your toll-free number is not verified, you might put yourself to risk of having your messages not delivered, receiving fines from carriers, or even a suspended account.
Toll-Free Registration is Free through smrtPhone
