How do I set up an after-hours message?
DEADLINE EXTENDED: United States carriers will block all unregistered SMS in 2025 due to an industry-mandated regulation to protect consumers (your customers) from spam texts. Don’t wait - complete SMS registration no later than January 14, 2025 if you wish to send text messages.
