In this article:

As of February 1, NumberBarn and NumberGarage customers are unable to send outbound text messages but they can still receive inbound text messages.

Important: Changes to outbound texting

What are next steps?

In the long term, we are working on a new solution that will allow for customers who engage in person-to-person (P2P) text messaging to send text messages through our service. Development efforts are ongoing and we do not have an estimated time of release for this product as of yet. We will keep customers updated.

In the short term, you can sign up for service with String and register a 10DLC brand and campaign. This process can take up to a month but our team will work with you to get you approved to text as quickly as possible. Learn more here:
