Longer Texts = Better Communication
Bye-Bye, SMS Limitations
Industry-wide, the number of characters that can fit in a standard text message is 160 characters. When your text message is longer, it often arrives cut off, and the recipient only sees the first part. Other times it is split into separate messages that may arrive out of order and sound confusing.
Hello, Detailed Announcements!
Now you can get important information out and be as detailed as you like. Whether it be a closure announcement, a safety announcement, or a sudden change in your business’ operational schedule, you no longer have to send three messages instead of one.
“Software is reliable, easy to reply with patients, like the confirmation feature of reminders, easy to contact customer service.”

Communication Hacks Using Long Format Text Messages
Send Automatically
Automatic reminders sent from your scheduler remind customers of their appointments. The longer, up to 1600-characters format allows you to add instructions, directions, and links to intake forms.
Get Appointment Confirmations
2-way text messaging makes it easy for your audience to respond instantly. Just set up an email address to receive responses or reply to them live from your dashboard.
Continue the Conversation
Once a person has had their appointment, 2-way text messaging is a very convenient way for you to follow up with them. Now you can answer questions without being limited to 160 characters.
Without Breaking the Bank
When you send a text message that is slightly longer than 160 characters, most text-messaging services bill you for two messages instead of one. Now you can send up to 1600 characters at a reasonable price.
