This page provides a how-to guide for using your new phone number.

SMS conversations

Text messages are a first-class citizen here. This section demonstrates how to receive and reply to text messages to your virtual number.

Receiving an SMS

I'll use our public number as an example: +1 (512) 538-2009. Anyone I interact with can send a text message to this number.

When Telephony receives an SMS to a virtual number, it sends an email to the owner of the virtual number with the contents of the text message.

Sending an SMS

It is possible to send SMS messages via email by sending an email from your telephony account's email address to [email protected].

The subject will be ignored. The email's body will be used as the body of the text message.
