Turn Texts Into Fewer Calls and More Efficiency

FAQs About Call Volume Reduction Text Messaging Software

How can text messaging reduce incoming call volume?
Automated text responses handle routine inquiries instantly without requiring phone conversations. When customers text questions about hours, services, or account status, your system can reply immediately with accurate information. This frees up phone lines for complex issues that truly need voice support.
What types of calls can be replaced with text automation? +
Appointment confirmations, order status updates, and basic FAQs are perfect for text automation. Password resets, payment reminders, and delivery notifications also work better via SMS. Textellent lets you build workflows that intercept these common requests before they become phone calls.
Can customers text our main business line instead of calling? +
Absolutely. Textellent enables SMS on your existing business number so customers can choose their preferred contact method. They get faster answers through text while your team handles fewer interruptions. This dual channel approach gives everyone more flexibility.
Does text messaging work for customer service escalations? +
Yes. You can triage incoming texts and route urgent matters to the right department automatically. Simple questions get resolved through automated responses while complex cases move to live agents. This sorting happens instantly, reducing wait times across all channels.
How do we measure the impact on call reduction? +
Textellent provides analytics showing text volume versus phone inquiries over time. Track which automated responses resolve issues completely and which topics still generate calls. These insights help you refine your text strategy and maximize deflection rates.
Will switching to text frustrate customers who prefer calling? +
Not at all. Text becomes an additional option, not a replacement for voice support. Many customers actually prefer texting for quick questions during work hours. Textellent manages both channels so everyone gets service their way without forcing a single method.
