UK business texting
Textly is business texting for any company that gets value from a direct line to its customers. Build your lists, send from a sender name we have approved, and track delivery. We send in steady batches, so a big send never jams up.
Bring your own Twilio, or let us run it for you.

Lists
Recipients have agreed to receive correspondence from this sender.
Built for any business that texts its customers. A few examples:
No training needed. If you can write a text message, you can run a campaign.
01
Paste numbers or grow lists over time. Group them in folders, for example by branch, by service, or by audience, so different parts of the business stay tidy and separate.
02
Tell us the name recipients should see, up to 11 characters. We approve it before it can be used, so nobody can send under a name they are not entitled to. Once approved, it appears in your dropdown.
03
Write your message, confirm consent, and send. We deliver in steady batches of 200 and show you exactly what was delivered and what failed.
The parts that protect you, and the parts that used to break, sorted.
Customers never type a sender name freehand. Every name is reviewed and approved by Textly, so nobody can impersonate a business. You pick from your approved names and nothing else.
Big sends go out in steady batches of 200 with delivery tracking. A seasonal push or a product launch no longer jams the queue, which is exactly the problem we set out to fix.
Keep different parts of the business apart. Branches, services and audiences can live in one account without getting tangled, each with its own lists.
Every send is logged with its delivery status, plus a consent record showing who confirmed it and when. Retained for your compliance needs, as set out in our privacy policy.
From your name, not a number
Your message lands on your customer's phone under the sender name you've had approved, the same way a text from a friend would. A text from your business name, not an unknown 07-number, looks instantly professional. It's recognised, trusted, and far more likely to be opened. Type a name and a message below, then tap the notification to open it in Messages.
Up to 11 characters. This is the name recipients see in place of a number.
Tap the notification on the phone to open it in Messages, just like your customer would.
