WhatsApp & Esendex FAQs

WhatsApp is a widely known and commonly used free application that allows users to engage in conversations with friends and family, both individually and in groups. It enables the exchange of messages, voice notes, images, GIFs, and documents, and supports video calls.

WhatsApp Business is also an app that has gained popularity among small to medium-sized businesses. It allows businesses to connect with customers on a smaller scale, facilitating ad-hoc customer service and micro marketing campaigns.

If you’re after a solution that allows you to roll out larger campaigns and serve more complex needs, there’s a third option – WhatsApp Business Platform. Ideal for medium to large businesses, this platform offers a comprehensive solution for conducting mass marketing and messaging campaigns, providing customer service on a larger scale, and catering to a wider, even global, audience.

TextAnywhere is now powered by the Esendex platform, combining local UK expertise with proven technology, trusted by thousands of businesses.

You’re still working with the same TextAnywhere team you know and trust, now backed by the full strength of Esendex.

With TextAnywhere, you’ll still have access to the SMS channel you’ve been using, but Esendex gives you the power to use WhatsApp, RCS, and other channels alongside your SMS outreach.

To gain approval on WhatsApp, businesses need to adhere to the WhatsApp Business Solution Terms, with the WhatsApp Business Solution Policy, and the Commerce Policy.
