Text Messaging in Zendesk Talk Trials

Understand why text messaging isn't available during Zendesk Talk trials and how to access it post-trial.

Can I use text messaging during a Zendesk Talk trial?

Text messaging is not available during a Zendesk Talk trial. Due to changes in US telecom regulations, businesses must register for A2P10DLC to send and receive texts, which takes 6-7 weeks. Since Zendesk Suite trials are only 14 days long, SMS functionality is not offered to trial customers.

Once you move to a subscribed state, full SMS functionality will be available. This ensures compliance with regulations and provides a seamless experience once you're fully subscribed.
