SMS Availability
Which numbers support incoming SMS?
SMSs (text messages) can arrive in one of two ways:
- Via BT Text, were you'll receive a phone call and the SMS message will be read out.
- Natively, via our SMS services - where we'll email you the SMS, or we can post it to your own API endpoint.
