    Anyone have any good PC software they use for texting customers other than using a phone?

    We send an email to their phone. You can use services like www.freecarrierlookup.com . (there are others)

    Enter their phone number and it will give you the link to email their phone. Just right click, copy and then paste to your email. No need to use your phone.

    Hi Angie, 

    I wanted to reach out to you to let you know that you can send a text message via email within Order Manager as well. Here is a link to the blog topic about this feature from our website https://bizwiziq.com/?p=3208. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to reach out to Albert in Tech Support or myself.

    Hi Angela,

    I use freecarrierlookup.com but many times they limit the monthly usage.  Do you have other good options?

    If you use Sage at all their new text messaging seems to be great. I've been testing it out this week and I like it so far.

    We use TextFree by Pinger.  The nice feature is that it is not only is it an app that you can use on a old ipad,  but you can access it from your computer.  This has allowed us to quickly respond with back and forth questions, answers and proofs with our clients without giving out our personal phone numbers.
