You no longer need to use commercial texting services for emergency communications.  Starting April 1, 2021, FirstNet® customers have access to a new and exclusive messaging app dedicated to public safety. And it gets better. You can get this advanced messaging at no cost for first responders and only $3 per month for those who offer them critical support.

You can send critical messages and attach files, voice memos, photos, and videos up to 5MB without worrying they’ll get stuck in commercial spam filters. Plus, FirstNet Messaging sends you a confirmation when your recipients get and read your messages. So, you can verify every transmission.  That is dependability you can see – as you respond to incidents – and save for your after-action reports.

You can also take comfort in knowing your messages will get to the intended recipients.  FirstNet Messaging has end-to-end encryption, which helps protect data in transit and at rest. It has features for the unique needs of first responders. And it adheres to multiple federal regulatory measures.*

  • Support various messaging protocols, including: TAP, SNPP, SMTP, WCTP, and REST APIs
