Recognizing the need to support millions of inbound texts and picture messages, Santa chose Zipwhip to power its Wish List Texting Line. Zipwhip is providing Santa full access to its multi-user software so Santa and his team of trusty elves can properly manage all of the inbound wishes. Santa stated they he and his team of elves are committed to responding to every text.
