TextBox is Comitted
Personalized service, live support, longevity and accessibility. I also know the team well and consider them to be 100% ethical and honest, which is really a breath of fresh air these days!
CONSThere really aren't any negatives other than cost, which is not to say they are "pricey" but I'm extremely cheap and want everything for free. Obviously, that's not possible where quality of service is required.

Very happy with TextBox
We have been using Textbox in all our offices for several years. We have been very happy with it and the customer support that we get we have questions. The interface is very, very basic but its a good thing. The only thing I would say is it could use a face lift to make it look more sexy but this does not affect the functionality of the program in any way. We did move over from another program and were very pleased with the pricing of Textbox.
PROSEasy to use. Customer support is always there if we have questions. Price.
CONSPretty basic. The overall look could use a facelift. Kind of old school looking.
Reason for choosing TextBox
Price.

Thank you for the feedback David. Although we've always focused more on function than form (and the processing loads that 'sexy' can create) we've spruced things up recently. When convenient, please do a quick check for updates to see the new goodies.

Decent platform with limitations
My favorite feature of TextBox is the desktop notifications.
CONSThere is a lack of group messaging and no really intuitive way to send and receive MMS.
Reasons for switching to TextBox
We needed multiple people to be able to use the software and the cost was less with TextBox.
Vendor Response
Thanks for the feedback! I have reached out to review the group and MMS capabilities and a few more things. TextBox allows sending messages to multiple recipients but not the kind where all parties see all recipients or respond to all. To our knowledge, only true cell phone numbers can do that. MMS is currently limited to picture (not audio, video, pdf, doc, etc) messages.

Easy to use
They've always been attentive and helpful.
PROSMakes life so much easier to be able to text back and forth with customers instead of phone calls. No one likes to answer the phone and you have to wait for voice mail, and many times they don't even listen. Everyone texts and makes us more efficient. We use it every day, 20+ a day.
CONSIt doesn't show text history easily. You have to send a text to the person for previous history to show up on older texts. High cost to add picture attachments (which we don't use).
Reason for choosing TextBox
We've been using it for so long, I don't recall who else I looked at. I did use a free trial for testing and liked it, so then signed up.
Vendor Response
Hello Beth, There is another way to see previous text history without texting the person. When you search for their conversation, click on the More button toward the top. That button loads older messages in the background. After you click that a few times, you should be able to click on the conversation again and it will populate the old messages. Please give us a call if you have additional questions and we would be happy to help! Thanks, Team TextBox

Game Changer
TextBox gives us the ability to communicate with our members how THEY want to communicate. Not only is it convenient and members love it, but it also is excellent for keeping track of conversations and looking back at them when needed. We use TextBox literally every department of the credit union. From lending and collections to credit/debit and Member Service.
PROSTextBox is easy to use for employees and members absolutely love the ability to text us. I also love the scheduled text ability and the auto-responders.
CONSIt works wonderfully, but if I HAD to say that there's a "Con", I'd say it's not as "pretty" as it could be. Like I said though, it works absolutely great and this one small item does not affect my A+ rating of them. Now that I think of it, maybe it's a good thing it has this simple look - it is incredibly easy to use because of it!
Vendor Response
Thanks Nick =) We've always been function over form, but recent updates have added some functionality and 'prettiness'. We'll be reaching out to get you all updated.

Great Value
being able to reach customers and interact at their convenience. Also the ability to send and receive pictures is extremely helpful for our business.
PROSI like the ease of use. In today's age most people prefer text over a phone call even in business. So by having the ability to send and receive messages & pictures it allows much faster and more convenient communication with our customers. Also the price is a great value for what it offers and allows my business to do.
CONSthe only thing that is tough is that if too many people in my business have access to the textbox software then sometimes everyone things someone else will respond. it would be nice if the text was distributed to individuals without adding a different #

Thanks for the feedback! We're diligently working on a way to assign/route conversations to specific users.

It served a very useful purpose until we needed all new phones. I would highly recommend for businesses getting started with texting clients.
PROSText Box is very user friendly and easy to use.

We love TextBox and are always telling everyone about it.
This software helps us save our customers money. It helps us better serve our customers in a timely manner. Saves us and our customers time.
PROSThe ease of use. Times saving. Well I am not liking that this survey is requiring more of my time than I wanted. It will not let me put in a simple answer.
CONSSometimes it takes way too long to received the messages. From time sent, to time received, it takes too long.
Reason for choosing TextBox

Thank you Shawn, unfortunately, we're primarily at the mercy of the mobile carriers for delivery timing. 99%+ of the time, the message is inserted into their networks in less than 2 seconds. From there their network controls the rest.

We love TextBox!
It's a wonderful system and we love it!
PROSI love how easy and efficient it is to use. We can also attach photos, which is nice. It's great for mass texts or individual use. Great product and the support team is awesome! Very responsive to our needs.
CONSI wish that we could text more than 1 photo at a time & I also wish we could text larger counts. Currently it cuts off a 250 characters.
Vendor Response
Thanks for the nice comments Melissa. Multiple photos and higher character counts are on our wish list also but we run into the barricade of what the carriers will accept from us.

Happy we have TextBox service.
Customer service has been great. If we have any questions, the textbox staff has been very helpful. We have an answer in minutes and we are back to work.
PROSI am very happy there is a way our sales staff can text our customers and mill rep from our land. Happy to Not have our sales force using their personal cell phones to communicate for business.
CONSClassic's Staff all have Apple phones and we will be happy to have the able to text pictures from our phones with needing to upload and then text to a customer. That step is a lot more tedious than I though it would be when we are in the middle of closing a sale or showing a customer a picture of a product or trim needed. We are also struggling with opening pictures in the program. (to view, click, save, then open) Saving to send pictures, now is only one at a time. It just takes a while.
Reason for choosing TextBox
TextBox is the only service we found that we could use with no new equipment.
Vendor Response
Thanks for the feedback! We'll be contacting you shortly with what I believe are great answers to your issues within the current versions of the apps.

Textbox allows me to use my current business number as a texting avenue to reach customers. I can send messages as groups, subgroups, or individuals. The program allows instant sending of messages as well as advanced prepared and scheduled messages. Very interactive and efficient

TextBox by Line1 Communications Review
Over all I think it is pretty fair price is decent desktop dashboard works pretty well.
PROSThe fact that you can use your exisiting landline number and turn it into a number that can send and receive text messages.
CONSThe mobile app is seriously lacking. Main thing I would like to see on the mobile app is the "Dashboard" settings so you can be simultaneously logged into all active accounts. This enables a manager to keep track of all accounts easily and make sure they are being handled properly. I would like to see the texts load a bit faster.

Really enjoy Text Box and have already told other business about it.
The thing that grabbed me most was that I could use my own business phone number to receive texts. Not having to use my personal cell phone number or a cell number I may even change from time to time. Rather I could use my real and permanent business number.
CONSNothing really maybe that I can't (at least don't know how) to attach a photo to my customers who are requesting information but I can at least give them a link to my website showing the picture - but that adding a photo would be helpful.
Reason for choosing TextBox
There were no other options like I mentioned.

PROSMany of our younger clients, will not answer the phone when we call them. They don't check their email very often, BUT WHEN WE TEXT THEM USING THIS APP, THEY RESPOND immediately. WORTH IT COST BY 10 FOLD.

It's hard to make contact with clients by telephone or email, especially the younger group. Everyone responds to a text message almost immediately. It also allows me to keep telephone time or time responding to an email to a minimum. I don't give my cell number to everyone so it gives me a little more privacy.
