Feedback

Why do I need an Enterprise Messaging pilot mobile telephone on my account to use this service?
The Enterprise Messaging pilot mobile telephone is used for billing the service to your account and serves as a security credential to identify an authorized contact from your company as a trusted user of the platform.   The pilot mobile telephone is also used for automated password resets associated with the Enterprise Messaging online portal so it should be kept in a secure place.

Feedback

What subscribers can my company send messages to using Enterprise Messaging?
Enterprise Messaging can only be used to send messages to Verizon Wireless subscribers. Your company can send messages to any of your corporate subscribers as well as to other Verizon Wireless subscribers provided you establish a process for the non-corporate subscribers to opt-in to receive your messages.

Feedback

Does the recipient of the message also pay to receive the message?

Yes, subscribers receiving messages that your company sends via Enterprise Messaging will be charged standard messaging rates per their calling plan/messaging bundle. These messages are not “Mobile to Mobile” messages.
