Messaging channels

How Carson sends your texts.

Carson can reach your leads three ways. Pick the channel that fits your audience — or run more than one. Here’s exactly what each one does.

iMessage · RCS · SMS

iMessage, powered by Linq

Linq lets Carson text your leads over iMessage — real blue bubbles, typing dots, and read receipts, exactly like a message from a person’s iPhone. Apple-device leads get a native experience that feels personal, not automated, which is why iMessage threads tend to get opened and answered far more often than plain SMS.

When a lead isn’t on an iPhone, Linq automatically falls back to RCS (rich Android messaging) or standard SMS, so every contact still gets the message on the best channel their device supports.

  • Blue-bubble iMessage with typing & read receipts
  • Automatic RCS / SMS fallback per device
  • Connect your Linq API token and register your numbers

Available on the Growth and Scale plans.

SMS

Texting with Quo

Quo gives Carson a clean, dedicated texting line of its own. Carson sends and receives on your Quo number, so your outreach runs on a separate, reliable line instead of mixing in with your personal phone.

It’s the simplest way to get Carson texting fast — connect your Quo account, choose the number Carson should send from, and you’re live.

  • Dedicated send / receive number for Carson
  • Clean separation from your personal phone
  • Quick connect — pick a number and go
SMS at scale

SMS at scale with Twilio

Twilio is the carrier-grade backbone for high-volume texting. Carson provisions phone numbers through your Twilio account and delivers every message with the reliability and deliverability Twilio is known for — ideal when you’re texting at real scale.

Because Twilio runs on registered carrier routes, your numbers go through standard A2P 10DLC business registration, which keeps deliverability high and your sending compliant.

  • Carrier-grade reliability and deliverability
  • Provision and manage numbers in your own Twilio account
  • A2P 10DLC business registration handled the right way
