Built to follow the rules

Texting has rules.
We handle them.

Carriers and regulators take unwanted texts seriously. LiyaSupport records consent, honors opt-outs, respects quiet hours and files your carrier registration, so your team can focus on the conversation.

  • Consent on recordWe keep a record of who agreed to hear from you and how. Texts you start are only sent to people who have.
  • STOP is absoluteAnyone who texts STOP is opted out at once, and the rest of your tools respect it. No setting overrides that.
  • Quiet hoursTexts that you start are held until the morning in your timezone, so nobody gets a reminder at midnight.
  • Carrier registration, handledUS carriers require businesses to register before texting. We file it for you and show you the status at each step.
From setup to your first text

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Do I need a new phone number?

Texting runs on a US number you already have with LiyaSupport, such as your Voice number. If your number cannot text yet, we guide you through the options.

Which countries can I text?

Today, texting works with US phone numbers. Support for Canada is planned.

What is a message part?

A standard text of up to 160 characters is one part. Longer messages are split into more parts, and that is how usage is counted.

Why is there a registration fee, and is it refundable?

US carriers require every business to register before it can text, and the fee covers that filing. We do not receive it, so we cannot refund it. If a carrier asks for changes, you can fix the details and refile for a small review fee.

Will texts count toward my AI resolutions?

AI-resolved text conversations count as resolutions on your main plan, the same as email and chat. Reminders and notifications you send do not.

Can I text anyone I like?

No. You can reply to anyone who texts you. To start a conversation, the person needs to have agreed to hear from you, and we block sends to anyone who opted out.
