TextInbound
The Cat24 TextInbound service enables organisations to receive SMS text messages through their own dedicated, eleven-digit phone number.
TextInbound enables you to offer a phone number, exclusively available to your organisation, to assist with marketing programs, to place on documentation and collateral, and for consumer enquiries.
The only charge is for the monthly rental of your TextInbound number, charged at £25 plus VAT per month. There are no other charges, no minimum contract and users sending texts in to your number are charged at their normal prevailing message rate.
Inbound SMS messages are received by you as a simple email. However, if you are integrating this facility within your own IT systems, you can receive the incoming messages via HTTP or through our Web Service.
We can also provide you with more memorable numbers, called Golden TextInbound numbers, should you wish.
For 5-digit numbers, known as Short Codes, please refer to our TextPremium service.
