Text Request Named Replacement for Zipwhip by Twilio

Text Request has already helped hundreds of businesses make the transition.

We've been working alongside Zipwhip to help their customers switch services and continue texting, as the newly acquired company begins the shutdown of its business texting services.

Twilio, who acquired Zipwhip in 2021, fully supports this work, and has recently named us an official replacement for Zipwhip. We've also built a Zipwhip Migration Tool to help Zipwhip customers transfer data seamlessly, so they can keep texting without missing a beat.

Transferrable data includes:

  • All contacts

  • All groups (contact lists)

  • Each contact's full message history

  • Message Templates

  • Applicable contact notes

  • Contact opt-out history

  • The business's text line, which is automatically SMS hosted by Text Request

  • Multiple Zipwhip text lines can be transferred to the same Text Request account

Zipwhip customers have until April 30th to make changes to their accounts, and can cancel anytime before the December 1 shutdown, so long as they give a 30-day notice.
