Better Deliverability
Your reservation confirmations, waitlist updates, and reminders reach guests without delays or blocks.
Messaging Options for Reliable Confirmations and Reminders: Dedicated vs Shared Phone Number
Phone carriers now require businesses that send text messages to register a phone number under the A2P 10DLC standard. It helps carriers make sure business messages are transparent and delivered reliably.
To keep Hostme confirmations, reminders, waitlist updates, and alerts from being blocked, we recommend registering your business and using a dedicated number. The default Hostme SMS service remains available if you prefer not to set one up.
What Business Registration Means for You
Trust and Credibility
Messages come from the same number, building recognition and trust with options for customization and marketing.
