Business SMS powered by AI — with the compliance built in
DialPhone’s business SMS platform delivers 98 percent open rates, AI-drafted replies, shared team inboxes, and TCPA + 10DLC compliance out of the box. Instead of stitching together a texting vendor, a compliance consultant, and a CRM sync tool, you get one platform that handles inbound support, outbound campaigns, appointment reminders, and payment requests — inside the same app your team already uses for calls.
AI SMS drafting with context-aware replies
Every incoming text gets a suggested reply based on the full conversation history, the customer’s CRM record, and your approved playbooks. Reps edit or send with one tap. The AI learns your tone over time. You stop typing the same five responses to the same five questions.
Interactive Text Receptionist for 24/7 FAQ handling
Common inbound questions — store hours, order status, password reset, appointment confirmation — get answered by a generative AI over SMS, 24 hours a day. When the customer asks something the AI can’t handle, the thread routes to a teammate with context. Typical customer reports: 50 to 70 percent of routine inquiries self-serve without human touch.
Shared team inboxes that prevent collision
One phone number, many teammates. DialPhone’s shared inbox shows who is replying to what, prevents two people from replying at the same time, routes incoming threads by role or skill, and keeps a complete audit trail. Role-based permissions let managers see everything while individual agents only see their assigned threads.
Compliance built in
The FUD around TCPA and 10DLC is real — and it’s a blocker that kills SMS projects at many SMBs. DialPhone handles it.
- TCPA compliance — opt-in tracking, written consent capture, quiet-hours enforcement (8pm–8am local), prior express consent logging
- 10DLC registration — we guide you through The Campaign Registry, brand vetting, and campaign approval. Most customers are live in 5 to 10 business days.
- STOP-keyword handling — STOP, STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, QUIT are auto-suppressed with compliant confirmation message
- Consent audit trail — every opt-in and opt-out is timestamped and exportable for legal review
- Toll-free and short-code options — for high-volume senders who need higher throughput

Secure payment requests via SMS
Send a payment link inside a text message — customer taps, pays with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a credit card, and you get the confirmation in real time. PCI-DSS compliant by default. Great for services businesses that want to eliminate “mail us a check” or “call back to pay”. Healthcare practices use it for copay collection.
High-Volume SMS for marketing campaigns
The standalone High-Volume SMS add-on is for outbound marketing at scale — product launches, flash sales, event reminders, re-engagement blasts. Includes A/B testing, segmentation, link click tracking, and post-send reporting. Custom pricing based on volume.
Analytics and campaign tracking
Every outbound campaign tracks deliverability, open rates, click-through (if links are used), STOP-rate, and conversion. Every inbound thread tracks first-response-time, resolution time, and customer sentiment. Pipe the data to your BI stack via the Analytics API or view it in the DialPhone dashboard.
Works inside Microsoft Teams
Integrate with Microsoft Teams so reps text customers without leaving Teams. Same inbox, same compliance, same AI drafting — embedded as a Teams app.
