Abstract: Methods and systems of managing application-to-person text messages include receiving, by an application running on a computing device and providing access to multiple distinct application-linked phone lines, a first text message from a first communication device having a unique phone number. In response to this text message, a first text message thread is generated that includes the first communication device and a first application-linked phone line having a first phone number. The first text message thread provides a text message transfer option selectable by a user of the first communication device. In response to the user of the first communication device interacting with the text message transfer option, the first communication device is transferred to communicate by text messages with a second application-linked phone line having a second phone number that is different from the phone number of the first application-linked phone line.
