Can I send and receive SMS from my Voipo number to a mobile phone?

[Vicky]

Hello, I'm still looking for help with receiving SMS from my Voipo number (recently ported) to a mobile phone. When will the issues be addressed to provide this capability of 100% of customers? I also need to know if there is a workaround that I could use or what options are available to me at this point. Thank you kindly.

As I recall it took about 4 weeks to port my number within VOIPo in order that I can send and receive SMS. Once it is available there will be a dropdown box in the Control Panel. After SMS is activated on your line you can initiate a message from the control panel and then receive responses to your email account. As I use Gmail I set up a separate notification sound for SMS messages (using filters) and get notified immediately when a text arrives. Then I respond to the email and the recipient receives it as text. It's kludgy but it works fine.

Support can verify if it's possible or not. We do not have the ability to offer it in all areas and won't be able to change that. We'd love to, but we don't have carrier parters that offer it in a small % of areas so there's not much we can do.

Support can confirm if it's available for you and port your number to one of our carriers that supports if we have one available.
