Zoom Made Communication Simple. Your Texting Should Work the Same Way.

Zoom Phone has given your team a fast, intuitive way to call and collaborate. Customer texting should be just as straightforward. Use the same numbers, same platform, no separate app or workaround required. Approved Contact puts SMS directly inside Zoom so your team can text from the same place they already work, with compliance built in from the start.

Built for Teams Running on Zoom Phone

Zoom Phone users who want the simplicity of texting customers from the same number they call from

Hybrid and remote teams that need a consistent, managed channel for customer communication

SMB and mid-market organizations that moved to Zoom and need texting that’s just as easy to manage

Zoom Phone resellers and partners looking to add a compliant texting layer to their Zoom deployments

You Scaled Using Zoom. Texting Probably Didn’t Keep Up.

Most Zoom Phone organizations didn’t plan for customer texting, the need happened organically. A rep texted from their cell because it was quick. A support agent texted an update because it felt easier. And since Zoom itself was so simple to adopt, nobody thought twice about the communication happening around it.

Those use cases work until message volume grows, then a customer complains, or someone asks for a consent record. At that point, “it was just a text” quickly stops being a reasonable answer.

Here’s How to Make Sure Your Zoom Foundation Is Solid

Fast adoption is one of Zoom’s greatest strengths and one of the reasons texting compliance often gets skipped. Approved Contact closes that gap without slowing anything down.

10DLC registration handled for you so your Zoom texts reach customers instead of spam filters

Consent tracking built into every conversation so you always know who agreed to receive messages and when

Opt-out enforcement that runs automatically, not something a rep has to remember to action

Message records stored and searchable so you can answer questions quickly if they ever come up

10DLC: The Registration That Keeps Your Zoom Texts Out Of Spam

If you’re sending business SMS at any real volume, 10DLC registration is what tells mobile carriers your messages are legitimate. Without it, messages get filtered or blocked and you often won’t know why.

Your business and each messaging campaign need to be registered before SMS traffic runs cleanly
Carriers treat sales outreach, support updates, and alerts as different types of traffic with different requirements
Approved Contact manages registration and monitors it ongoing so you don’t have to track changes yourself

Think of it as the behind-the-scenes work that keeps your Zoom texting program running reliably.

A Few Things Worth Saying Up Front

SMS is not end-to-end encrypted. That’s true regardless of platform. We won’t tell you otherwise.
We can’t guarantee message delivery. 10DLC registration improves deliverability significantly, but carrier decisions aren’t ours to control.
We provide the infrastructure. Your team owns the policy decisions about how and when you message customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work with Zoom Phone or Zoom Meetings?

Zoom Phone. Approved Contact text-enables your Zoom Phone numbers; the same numbers your team uses for outbound and inbound calls. Zoom Meetings is a separate product and not part of this integration.

How long does it take to get set up?

Setup is straightforward. Once your Zoom Phone numbers are text-enabled and 10DLC registration is complete, your team can start texting from Zoom. We walk through everything during onboarding and definitely no lengthy IT project required.

What do customers see when we text them?

They see your business phone number; the same Zoom Phone number they’d recognize from a call. No random short code, no unfamiliar sender. Just your number, with a message they can reply to.

We’re a smaller team. Is this built for us?

Yes. Approved Contact works for SMB and mid-market organizations running Zoom Phone, not just large enterprises. The compliance infrastructure scales with you; it’s not more overhead than you need at your current size.

Can Zoom Phone resellers offer this to their customers?

Yes. Approved Contact has a partner program for UCaaS providers and Zoom resellers who want to add compliant SMS as part of their Zoom Phone deployments.
