Many of the largest and most influential churches in the U.S. partner with Clearstream.

A Few Reasons Why

Platform Reliability And Uptime

  • Built for mass texting – With a minimum message throughput of 300 messages per second, we deliver your message to your people, regardless of their carrier, 7.5x faster than the average SMS provider.
  • Directly connected to all wireless carriers in U.S. through a Tier 1 aggregator (no, we’re not a basic texting app built on Twilio). Direct connectivity is critical for providing reliable and fast messaging.
  • Carrier compliant – the Clearstream platform adheres to the nuanced TCPA/wireless carrier requirements for organizational texting. Watch our texting laws video series to learn more.

Dedicated Or Shared Shortcodes

  • Shared shortcodes are 5-digit numbers used by many churches. Because they are shared, keyword availability and flexibility is limited. However, the monthly cost is substantially lower than a dedicated shortcode.

  • Dedicated shortcodes are 5-digit numbers that are used only by a single organization. They have no keyword limitations and much more flexibility. The cost is substantially higher than a shared shortcode.

  • Need to use your own dedicated shortcode? We can provision a new shortcode or port your current shortcode to Clearstream. Please reach out for more info.

Support That’s Second To None

  • Support isn’t just something we offer, but consider as part of the product we provide. See for yourself – read our customer reviews or check out our Wall of Love.
  • Average response time is < 3 minutes.

What Large Churches Say About Clearstream

Clearstream continues to be an excellent partner for Churchome. We connect with more than 10,000 people up and down the West Coast on a monthly basis via text while maintaining an opt-out rate of less than 1%. Their team solicits feedback, implements our suggestions, and clearly communicates best practices that translate into our success.
