A New Web Texting for the Holidays

We are proud to show to you the work we’ve done over the past quarter to make the Accelerate Networks Web Texting app better than ever.

Web Texting is a service that enables you to receive and respond to SMS and MMS messages (texts) from the phone numbers that you use for your existing desk phones. You can access Web Texting through your FusionPBX instance, the same tool that you use to configure your ring groups and extensions. After you login, click the Applications menu button and scroll down to the bottom to select Web Texting. You’ll be presented with the refreshed user interface that we’ve just finished building.

Everyone knows what messaging apps are supposed to look like and how they’re meant to work. To that end we’ve kept everything as familiar as possible so you can get in, respond to your clients, and get back to work in as little time as possible.

Before and After

The old Web Texting conversation picker

We’ve rethemed Web Texting to match with the Accelerate Networks website and redesigned the UI to scale from the smallest iPhone to the widest desktop monitors. We’ve also made it easier to switch between conversations by splitting the page between your most recent messages and the other threads you’re in.

If you are not currently using Web Texting and would like to try it out, you can also contact our support team and they will get you set up.
