That's one of the steps we cover as part of the guided onboarding after signing up. What domain do you use to send emails? Can I use my own domain? What about .GOV domains? Parthenon uses a pristine .US domain to send emails for customers who don't have a domain. You can also configure your own domain during the onboarding process, including .GOV domains. There's an easy-to-use wizard to set this up. Our team is available to help with this process as well.  How does texting work? Do I need a phone number? SMS is available to all reach customers as a credit-based add-on. You can top off your credits as often as needed.  As part of the onboarding process, Reach will walk you through the steps to acquire a 10-DLC number and file your registration with the FCC – a requirement to send texts to constituents. The turnaround for FCC approval is typically 2-3 weeks.  Once approved, you can send messages as often as you'd like! How does billing work? What am I agreeing to? Reach is a software-as-a-service platform billed on a monthly or annual basis. Customers who sign up for reach must agree to our [Terms of Service](https://www.parthenon.co/terms-of-service) and [Privacy and Data Protection Policy](https://www.parthenon.co/privacy-policy).
