Two-way SMS: real conversations with customers.
Business texting shouldn't be a one-way broadcast. With KiwiTxt two-way SMS your customers can reply to any text you send, and your whole team can see and answer every conversation from one inbox, on a computer or phone.
What is two-way SMS?
Two-way SMS lets your business send text messages and receive replies, just like texting from your own phone, but from a business number and a shared inbox. Customers don't need an app or a login. They simply text back.
It turns texting into a proper customer service and sales channel: quote approvals, booking changes, questions about orders and "running late" messages all happen by text.
Why NZ businesses switch to two-way texting
- Faster answers. People reply to texts much sooner than to emails or voicemails.
- One inbox for the team. Anyone can pick up a conversation, with the full history in front of them.
- Text from your computer. Type replies on a keyboard instead of a phone, and keep business texts off staff personal mobiles.
- Nothing to install for customers. It works on every mobile phone.
Everyday ways to use two-way SMS
- Quote follow-ups and approvals ("Reply YES to go ahead")
- Booking confirmations and reschedules
- Order and job updates: "your car is ready", "we're on our way"
- Answering customer questions without phone tag
- Collecting photos and details before a job
