What every seat includes

Messaging that behaves like a conversation, not a blast.

Each capability below ships on every seat — no premium tier, no per-feature gating. Pair with our website chatbot so the same thread carries from chat into SMS.

    Onboarding welcomes, renewal nudges and win-backs that go out on time zones, not guesses.

Compliance handled

The filings your team shouldn't touch.

TKOS handles KYC, TCR registration and carrier-level vetting — so your messages don't sit in a filtered folder. Deliverability you can rely on, even on a Friday afternoon. See toll-free numbers for high-volume outreach.

Every campaign vets against the FCC call authentication framework to keep traffic in the legitimate lane.

Registry fees are set by the carrier. TKOS doesn't mark them up — they are line-itemed on every invoice.

Zero markup
Every thread logs itself

The conversation lands on the contact record.

Agents see what was texted, when, and by whom — even if the last rep left six months ago. The thread threads itself into your existing CRM, perfect for our retail solution floors.
