Buy now (x2 messages**)(+) A 'message' is a messaging credit. 1 text to one phone number uses 1 messaging credit. 1 voice call to one phone number uses 2 - 3 messaging credits. Yearly plans get all their messages upfront.
(++) Each phone number = 125 messaging credits. Usually covers 1 U.S. and CA No. If the phone number costs more messaging credits, the 125 messages credits can be used to offset the additional cost.

FAQs
Yes, it does. A text length is 160 characters. For each text, you are charged 1 text credit. In this example, you would be charged for 10 text credits.
No, absolutely not. Choose your plan based on the number of SMS (or voicemail) msgs you want to send regularly.
Buy some more or upgrade your plan. Read more (+ how to get automatic alerts) in this HelpDesk article.
Basically, a messaging credit is a unit of cost used when sending or receiving text and voice messages. Credits work in two ways:
| Credits options | CREDITS ROLL OVER | INCOMING MSGS ARE FREE |
|---|---|---|
| Key differences | Pay for incoming and outgoing msgs, and unused credits roll over. | Pay only for outgoing messages, but unused credits don’t roll over. |
| Explanation | You maintain your current plan (or upgrade). You pay for BOTH incoming and outgoing msgs/calls on any plan, and your credits roll over month after month, year after year. | You pay for outgoing msgs/calls ONLY, never for incoming text messages. Your credits renew each month (no rollover). |

PastorsLine believes that ‘pay as you go’ is a marketing ploy which is usually not to the user’s benefit. Read more about that in this HelpDesk article. We prefer to offer fairly-priced plans which give you access to all our great church-focused features. That’s why our basic plan, Inception, is only $10 / month ($100 / year - a savings of 17%).
Currently, there are two types of phone numbers. One type: You can add a new, PastorsLine, virtual local number. The other type: You can text-enable a landline which you already own. For example: on the Dash plan, you can have one or the other. On the Locomotion plan, you can have one of each.
Here’s how to match your needs with the right plan: Just estimate your weekly attendance and how many texts and/or voice msgs you are planning to send each week. Then, match your details with one of the plans below. Pay for what you need -- not the size of your list. You can always change plans as needed.
To get you started, we put together this easy to use estimator.

your team
Multiuser, Multicampus, and Multinumbers
You can now invite your entire team to use PastorsLine.
Our multiuser option gives you lots of choices, including the ‘role-based user’ profile: users see only the groups which they have been assigned and perform only those actions for which they have been given permission.
You can…
Share one, single telephone number among several team members who are working with the same groups, on the same event/project, etc. … Everyone sees everything for the full picture.
Give each team member his or her own, unique telephone number so that each person sees only the messages that are connected to him or her ... Saves time sifting through unneeded messages and makes sure texts don’t fall through the cracks.
Changes can be made at any time by the admin: number of monthly messaging credits, permissions, groups which can be accessed, etc. … Means that your setup flows with and adapts to your church’s needs, not the needs of the platform.
Dozens of churches are already using
PastorsLine and seeing success.
The PastorsLine platform is a church-driven, bulk texting platform developed and managed by church ‘insiders’. We know churches intimately. We’ve attended them, been part of their management teams and worked with them for many years. Our goal is to serve you by helping you spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. We’ve positioned ourselves to be your in-house, IT team for solutions to your communication issues. In addition to everything our platform can do, our partners love our responsiveness to their needs and fast tech support.
"Baptism Worship Service Reminders - bulk texting—we were blown away by the number of people who showed up."
Cara Saliby
Dir. of Admin.
When we finished our evangelistic event in Houston, 70% of those who were baptized, communicated with me through PastorsLine...it had a big influence.
Wyatt Allen
Evangelist, End Time Hope
The personal and almost immediate assistance at [PastorsLine] is so great! We feel valued and important! We love that it is church-based!!! … Jason and the team at [PastorsLine] are always ready to help, make things better, and they also welcome feedback.

Pastor @ College Drive Church
““...the guest connection card...We had a great response -- people whose names and contact info we might not have captured otherwise. Our autoresponder directs them to our Welcome Center...where we have a gift...with their name on it."
Kristen Waddle
Church Communications
At first, the landline feature seemed like it would overload the church secretary since everyone would have the church phone number saved in their phones. This has not happened! People are simply interacting with our events better than ever before! We love the landline feature.
Sterling Willborn
Associate Pastor, Journey Church
We hired [PastorsLine] to assist us in a new “Small Group” initiative we were launching at our church. The tools they provided us with helped us monitor and take action on hundreds of responses. Our workflow was cut in half and our ability to track, monitor and follow through with the data gathered more than doubled.
Chris Elliott
Associate Pastor, New Believers
The text message bible study invites are working great. We saw a huge increase from 5-6 to 10-12 and the numbers stayed consistent.
Zeke Vas
Pastor
The land line is more familiar with our congregation. When we texted from the other number, some would inquire about who was sending the text as the number was unfamiliar, and we did not use it frequently, so by the time we sent another text, some had forgotten the number.
Myrna and Peter Rohdin
New Life Fellowship Church, Elmhurst, NY
It’s honestly the best feature that we have utilized. Being able to give one phone number for voice and text simplified our process.
J.W. Dunbar
Pastor Gateway Church, Ashland, KY
I honestly never realized how many people must have been trying to text our landline all along! We never advertised our landline as a number you could text, but we have gotten multiple members of our congregation and even guests from some of our events to send us texts saying, ‘Thank you for this and that’, and it has been really great to see!

“[PastorsLine is] a huge answer to something we’ve been looking for. I was able to send a template with a field merge by scheduling it... ”
Dr. Matthew Robinson
Pastor
PastorsLine has been a fantastic tool which has enhanced communication with out church family. As with any tool, the secret is in learning how to use it effectively. I have been most excited when I see my church members telling their very own unchurched friends to text “PRAY” to our pastorsline number and have them join our prayer sessions.
Paolo Esposito
Pastors, RGF Church
For us [a PastorsLine text-enabled church landline] has been huge for people to be able to text the number they already knew for our church. It means they don’t have to remember two different numbers when they are looking to try and get in touch with us. Most people don’t even realize its mostly an automated process.
Tyler Boles
Connections Pastor, The Exchange
By using the same phone number for texting and calling you get people to remember your phone number. When it comes the time that are ready to reach out to us they know the phone number.
Abraham Schwartz
I belong to a Church Communications group on Facebook, and you were highly recommended. We signed up with you over others because we are a multi-generational church and you have an ability to reach people on landlines.
Daniel Chambers
Sending and receiving texts from our landline number is the #1 feature that ensures visitors and members can engage with us on the most relevant means of communication there is right now. Having one number to advertise, simplifies all graphics, ads, announcements, etc. for us, as well as for those we're trying to reach. I use PastorsLine EVERY DAY. It's changing the way we engage with our members - it's both easier and more effective.
Tara Freeman
PastorsLine has totally changed not only my workflow, but it's taken our "personal" factor up 10x! Just with our welcome process, we have gone from a 40% READ rate to a 40% CONVERSATION rate. That's just crazy!
So thanks 🙂
