Sign-in & identity

Your team signs in the way your company already does.

No reset tickets, no passwords for IT to manage, and MFA on your terms.

Carrier registration

Start texting in days, not weeks. We guide registration.

Carriers require that you register every business number before you can text. We guide your registration, check it before carriers do, and monitor everything until you’re approved.

Hundreds

of businesses registered with the carriers through MessageDesk

Your website, made carrier-ready

Carriers check your website first. We help bring your privacy policy, SMS terms, and opt-in up to standard, with templates and a free checker.

Rejections caught in advance

We review every submission within about 24 hours and flag what would get it rejected, so you don’t lose days to corrections.

No guessing where you’re at

Track every step in Compliance Center. We tell you when you’re approved and help you resubmit if you’re not.

Most approvals take 1 to 3 business days once your website is compliant. We submit toll-free verification for you, and carrier fees are included.

Access & records

Each person sees only the numbers and conversations they should.

When someone asks what was said to a customer, you can find it and export it in minutes. Access is set by phone number, feature, and label.

A MessageDesk message export opened as a CSV: each text and internal comment with its timestamp, direction, content, attachment link and status. Overlapping it, a Billing Specialist role whose inbox access is Editor on the Billing Line, Viewer on the Front Desk line and No Access on the Dispatch Line.

Opt-outs

Opt-outs you don’t have to worry about.

MessageDesk watches every reply for STOP and unsubscribe. When one arrives, it confirms the opt-out, notes it in the conversation, and blocks future sends, including scheduled ones.

  • Customers get a confirmation in your words
  • Carriers see “Reply STOP to opt out” on every message, or once per conversation
  • Opt-outs from your old platform carry over to every line

Multi-line opt-out

Turn on Inbox Opt-Out, and one STOP covers every number in your inbox, so no teammate on another line texts them by mistake.

MessageDesk Compliance Center with Inbox Opt-Out turned on, so one opt-out covers every number in the inbox, and a conversation where a contact texts STOP and automatically gets an opt-out confirmation

“We kept our same numbers and VoIP provider and were texting in a couple days. No downtime, no added configuration or headaches.”

Ask AI about MessageDesk for security and compliance:ChatGPTPerplexityClaudeGoogle AI Mode
Is MessageDesk SOC 2 certified?

Yes. MessageDesk is a SOC 2 Type II-certified platform. Request the audit report in the Trust Center.

How does MessageDesk protect business messages?

Messages are encrypted at rest and in transit and hosted in the US on AWS. Access is set by role, phone number, and label, and sign-in is passwordless.

Can our team sign in with Microsoft?

Yes, on the Enterprise plan. Once IT connects Microsoft Entra ID, anyone who enters a company email goes straight to your Microsoft sign-in.

Can we keep a record of our texts?

Yes. Search the full history and export it to CSV or PDF. On Pro, outbound webhooks also send messages to your own systems.

If someone texts STOP to one of our numbers, can another number still text them?

Not with Inbox Opt-Out on. One STOP then blocks every number in your inbox. You set it in Compliance Center.

Is MessageDesk HIPAA compliant?

Not yet. HIPAA compliance is coming in Q4 2026. Until then, use MessageDesk for non-PHI work like appointment reminders.
