AI SMS Answering for Businesses From $79 a Month
An AI assistant replies to every text on your business number, answers questions, books appointments and hands off to you.
Quick answer
Blogrator’s AI SMS answering costs $79 a month for AI replies to every inbound text, $129 a month with appointment booking and missed-call text-back, and $199 a month with follow-up texts plus Facebook, Instagram and website chat. It is month to month. Text messages are billed at cost.
Last updated 25 September 2026Customers text businesses at all hours, and a reply three hours later is often a lost job. AI SMS answering replies within seconds, day or night, using your prices, services, hours and FAQs.
It answers questions, collects details, books into your calendar and hands the conversation to you when a person is needed. You see every conversation in one inbox on your phone.
Runs on GoHighLevel and Twilio. Business texting to US numbers needs A2P 10DLC registration in your business name, and Canadian carriers filter unregistered business texts, so we register every account; we do the paperwork with you. Text usage is passed through at cost.

How It Works
Collect your answers
Your services, prices, hours, service area and common questions become the AI’s knowledge base.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I keep my existing number?
Often yes: many landlines and VoIP numbers can be text-enabled. If yours cannot, we give you a local business number to put on your site and ads.
How is this different from Never Miss a Lead?
Never Miss a Lead starts from missed phone calls. AI SMS answering replies to every text anyone sends you, from ad replies to existing customers, and on higher tiers also covers missed calls, DMs and web chat.
What does texting cost?
Text messages are billed at cost by the carrier, usually a fraction of a cent to a few cents per message in the US and Canada. We show you the usage every month.
Will customers know it is AI?
We tell customers they are chatting with an assistant and make it easy to reach a person. Being open about it builds trust and keeps you within texting rules.
What if the AI does not know the answer?
It says it will check, collects the details and hands the conversation to you with a notification. We then add the answer so it knows next time.
What is A2P 10DLC?
It is the registration US carriers require for business texting from local 10-digit numbers, including texts from Canadian businesses to US customers. Canadian carriers also filter unregistered business texts. Without it, messages get blocked. We submit it in your business name with you.
Does it work outside the US and Canada?
Yes, in most countries Twilio supports. Rules and prices vary by country; we check yours on the call.
