Your IQ Number is a powerful way to communicate with your customers. Not only is it an SMS-enabled phone number, it can also receive calls.
One of the great rules-of-thumb in placing phone numbers on your website is to ensure they are formatted in a way that allows people to click-to-call from their mobile device.
You can format an SMS link in much the same way as you would format a phone number to become a clickable link.

Atoms is a popular E-Commerce shoe brand and uses a click-to-text link on their product pages for support.
This is a great complement to live chat on your website and helps you connect with your prospects and customers in a more relaxed way.
