What to look for in a Zipwhip replacement:
- No blackouts - a smooth transition from switching platforms when porting numbers. The typical porting time takes as fast as a few minutes to up to 3 days depending on how Zipwhip has set up your phone number.
- Hand holding through the process - SMS is the lifeblood for many organizations, any potential disruptions would cause anxiety. Alive5 has performed hundreds of port requests without any major issues or disruptions.
- Migration of existing contacts & customer conversations:
Transfer all your Phone Numbers, Contacts, Conversations, and Photos from your Zipwhip account to Alive5 so you don't lose past conversational data.
- Similar texting workflows so learning a new system is not starting over with an unfamiliar platform. Alive5 has many features based on what Zipwhip had with more enhancements on top.
- A fast 10DLC compliance approval process. Switching providers means you have to re-submit a 10DLC campaign registration and your Zipwhip 10DLC approval cannot be reused with the new provider. 10DLC registration and approval times have skyrocketed in delays due to the recent industry changes, but Alive5 has a proprietary process which gets you compliant in hours/days vs weeks with other vendors.

How It Works
What Happened to Zipwhip?
Zipwhip is an innovative text messaging platform that revolutionized the way businesses and organizations communicate. It provides a streamlined, efficient way to send and receive text messages, with features such as group messaging, auto-response, and scheduling. Examples of businesses and organizations that have successfully used Zipwhip Messaging include restaurants, retail stores, and customer service centers. To maximize the effectiveness of Zipwhip Messaging, businesses should take advantage of its automation and scheduling features, as well as its customer service integration capabilities.
Zipwhip is shutting down due to a merger with a larger company. The cost of Zipwhip messaging depends on the size of the organization and the features they require. To contact Zipwhip, users can visit their website (https://support.zipwhip.com/s/article/Software-Shutdown-FAQ) or call their customer service line. Zipwhip is still in business, as the company that bought them is focused on sunsetting the platform and grow the infrastructure side of the business (API layer). The company that bought Zipwhip is Twilio, which is a communications infrastructure software company. Some of the companies that use Zipwhip include Uber, Starbucks, and Disney.
In conclusion, Zipwhip messaging was an incredibly powerful text messaging platform that offers businesses and organizations a streamlined, efficient way to communicate. Here at Alive5, we're focused on helping businesses affected by the shut down to continue operationally with a very capable and improved SMS Texting platform with little to no disruption.
