Can I use a 718 vanity number to send business text messages?
718 local numbers support person-to-person SMS only. Using them for business promotional texts, appointment reminders, or transactional messages violates carrier regulations and risks number suspension. For business SMS needs such as marketing campaigns or customer notifications, a toll-free vanity number (1-800, 1-888, or 1-877) is recommended. Toll-free vanity numbers legally support business SMS and are available at standard Tossable Digits pricing with no premium fees.
