MessageDesk vs. Helply

MessageDesk is a web-based business text messaging and shared SMS inbox platform that enables organizations to send and receive SMS/MMS from existing landline or VoIP phone numbers through a multi-user interface. MessageDesk is designed for mid-sized and larger teams that want a centralized way to handle texting without moving their primary phone numbers to a new carrier. MessageDesk supports U.S. and Canadian 10-digit numbers and can connect with all major VoIP providers and messaging services like Twilio, while allowing voice calls to remain with the current provider.
