UK business texting

Text your customers, and see every message land.

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.

Three steps from sign up to sent

No training needed. If you can write a text message, you can run a campaign.

01

Build your lists

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

Get a sender name approved

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

Send and track

Write your message, confirm consent, and send. We deliver in steady batches of 200 and show you exactly what was delivered and what failed.

Built around the awkward bits

The parts that protect you, and the parts that used to break, sorted.

Approved sender names

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.

Batched sending that holds up

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.

Folders and lists

Keep different parts of the business apart. Branches, services and audiences can live in one account without getting tangled, each with its own lists.

Logs and consent records

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.

For developers and growing teams

Build texting into your own website

Use the Textly API to trigger texts straight from your booking flow, checkout or sign up form. Send an order confirmation, an appointment reminder, or a follow up the moment it matters. We can help you design and wire up the text flows that suit your site.

Two ways to send

Run it yourself, or hand the technical side to us. Either way you pay a simple platform fee.

Bring your own Twilio

Add your Twilio Account SID and Auth Token during onboarding. You send on your own account and pay Textly only the platform fee. Your token is encrypted and never shown again.

Start with your own Twilio

Managed messaging

We run the Twilio side for you under our programme, so there is nothing to set up. Tell us about your business during onboarding and we will get you sending.
