Reynwood Communications, the premier provider of hosted voice solutions and unified communications for small to mid-sized businesses, announced the launch of TextAware, powered by Clerk Chat, a new service that allows businesses to send and receive text messages directly through their existing business phone numbers – without requiring any number porting.

TextAware integrates seamlessly into Reynwood’s hosted voice platform, empowering businesses to text-enable their current numbers for fast, reliable communication with customers over SMS.
