Text From the Same Number Your Customers Call


Because our text messaging feature uses your existing PATLive Flex number, your texts come from the same trusted numbers your PATLive Virtual Receptionist answers. That consistency builds trust and improves response rates—no more random/anonymous numbers or missed connections.

Enable in Minutes—No Tech Setup Required


Getting started is simple:

  • No IT help needed—it’s all built into your platform
  • After your free trial, you can opt to turn on text messaging yourself from the web app system settings, or let us help you!
PATLive's front desk receptionists can transfer calls when you're available or take a message when you're not.

Deliver Texts Through the PATLive Flex App


All text messaging activity is powered by the PATLive Flex app—your central hub for calls, texts, and settings. From here, your team can send and receive texts, review message history, and manage notifications in real time.

This keeps everything secure, trackable, and easy to manage—whether you’re at your desk or on the go.

Designed to Work With Your Call Flow


PATLive Flex texting works seamlessly with your existing call flow settings. If a customer reaches a receptionist, or even if they don’t leave a message, you can follow up with a friendly text.
