A text-enabled landline is a traditional landline phone number that has been updated to allow it to send and receive text messages. This is achieved through a software update that converts the landline number into a text-enabled number. Once the landline number is text-enabled, businesses can use a text-to-landline service to receive and respond to text messages from their customers. This provides an additional communication channel that is convenient, cost-effective, and efficient for businesses and their customers.
