Frequently asked questions

What kind of SMS text messaging can I send and receive?

With your RingCentral business text messaging service, you can send and receive texts and multimedia messages (MMS) with suppliers, customers, colleagues, and departments from your RingCentral business numbers. With one professional phone number for all business communications, you will also be able to receive text message service notifications for your voicemails, faxes, missed calls, and urgent messages.


What should I look for in a business text messaging service provider?

When choosing a business text messaging service, simplicity and flexibility are key. When used correctly, business SMS can be your secret weapon for supercharging engagement. Here are some points to look for:

  • Unified phone number - SMS outreach from your business number to maintain professional and secure communications.
  • Unified communications inbox - Send, receive & manage all your SMS conversations, business calls and eFaxes in one place across all your devices.
  • Carrier compliant and optimized for deliverability - Your business texting app should be designed to optimize deliverability while ensuring carrier compliance. Our SMS solution meets new Carrier requirements, helps offset some of the new per-message fees, and reduces risk of fines. All customer businesses and phone numbers are vetted and registered with TCR through RingCentral. Our advanced spam and carrier compliance detection system even helps prevent messages that would violate carrier guidelines, helping you stay in compliance and helping ensure the best possible reputation for your business with carriers. All in all, working together to drive greater deliverability, reduce costs, reduce risk to your business, and increase overall ROI.
  • Integrations make a new world of SMS capabilities possible - RingCentral provides over 500 pre-built integrations allowing you to plug SMS into all the apps where work happens for you (Hubspot, Google, Microsoft Teams, you name it, we got it). Send marketing blasts, notifications, automate alerts, appointment reminders, and even payment requests with our Advanced SMS solution. Enjoy advanced SMS features like:Shared SMS inboxAutomation workflows such as auto-replies, keyword auto-responder, and moreBuilt-in AI capabilitiesSegmented contact listSMS campaign managementReal-time data and detailed graphical analytics, like the number of messages delivered, timestamps, and much more.
  • Easy set up with simple, transparent pricing - With some other providers, new hidden SMS fees may come as an unpleasant surprise in the form of surcharges, cost recovery fees, or other costs—even charges for unused SMS! With RingCentral, you can rely on predictable costs with transparent SMS pricing and no surprise fees or hidden charges. To help save you even more money, customers receive a free monthly allowance of messages and are only charged once that threshold is exceeded. To give our customers the most value, your allowance is pooled at the account level, meaning you’re not penalized for team members that use more SMS, and you don’t lose the SMS for those that use less.
  • One subscription for business communications simplified - Business SMS is included in our RingCentral RingEX plans. Enjoy robust suite of business communication tools like advanced cloud phone system, online faxing, team messaging, video conferencing, file sharing and much more. Consolidate your business partners and streamline your budget while revolutionizing your communications with RingCentral SMS.

Is there any limitation on storing my business texting messages?

Each user can store up to 5,000 text messages, including sent and received messages in RingCentral business texting app.


Is there a limit to the number of free text messages that I can send?

Yes, there is an allotted number of messages sent/received per month for US and Canada RingCentral RingEX customers. Once you have reached those thresholds, rates will apply for each message sent/received. Go to SMS Pricing Changes for more information.


Can I execute mass text messaging?

Yes. You can use the RingCentral app to send bulk SMS messages. Different from a group message, which RingCentral also offers, sending a text message in bulk means sending the same message to multiple people in separate messages. You can also integrate with our partners like BeeTexting to build out and manage SMS contact lists to send updates, notifications, alerts, or promotions. Easily add your recipients to multiple lists – and even set up advanced messaging rules to perfectly segment your customers.


Can I use my toll-free number to send out SMS/MMS?

Yes, sending outbound SMS is supported. However, sending/receiving MMS for toll-free numbers is currently not supported. Please contact your RingCentral Account Manager to enable sending SMS with your toll-free number.


How much would a business SMS service cost?

Investing in a business texting service that can be launched via smartphones, desktops, and various devices is a must for organizations looking for a more effective, efficient two-way communication channel. It can be utilized for day-to-day conversations, SMS marketing, customer support, and the list goes on.

While there are many options that promise impressive features, you’ll find that some of them may be way out of budget.

With RingCentral, you get all the best features of business SMS without breaking the bank. Click here to view a complete pricing breakdown of RingCentral products and services.


Are there any restrictions on the type of messages I can send?

Yes, mobile carriers have placed restrictions on how you may message recipients, as well as the types of messages and campaigns you may send. Please review our SMS policies to better understand these restrictions and the requirements carriers have placed on business SMS.


What if I am a Teams user and want to use SMS capabilities within the Teams app?

With RingCentral for Microsoft Teams, you can send and receive SMS messages to contacts in the company directory or an external number within Microsoft Teams. Additional benefits of RingCentral SMS natively embedded into your Teams app include having a unified inbox, unified number, powerful search capability, MMS support, being carrier compliant, deliverability optimizations, and more. Microsoft Teams customers with a E1 and E3 license can embed RingCentral’s advanced capabilities—including SMS, Fax, Voicemail Transcription, Analytics, Call Queues, and more—without needing to pay for an $8/user Teams Calling license. Learn more about RingCentral for Microsoft Teams here.
