We purchase a phone number to connect to your account through our carrier. They have new numbers available for use based on demand.
You can host or port an existing number into your Text In Church account as well. Submit a porting or hosting request by going to Settings -> Phone Numbers and clicking the "Use My Existing Number" button.
Check out our guides to hosting here and porting here!
It is currently only possible to search for numbers based on the area code of the number. It is not possible to search for specific numbers at the moment.
However, the list does update every few hours as our carrier's inventory updates.
You can check with other area codes that are in your area, too, if desired.
You can also check daily as new numbers are made available regularly, ensuring you have more options to find your preferred area code.
If you cannot find a number or one is not available, that's okay!
New numbers are made available every few hours, so be sure to check back for a number with your desired area code a few hours later or the next day.
Typically, this process does not take long, and a number can be found fairly quickly. Some remote areas may experience a longer wait.
Reach out to support, and we can extend your trial until a number can be selected.
Alternatively, consider other solutions such as hosting a landline number or porting a number if possible.
If your church has a landline phone number, we could potentially host that number for you so we can send text messages from it.
Nothing changes to the voice capabilities or billing for that line; we are just able to send text messages from that number.
We’re always happy to help! Send us a chat message or email our Member Support team at support@textinchurch.com
