SMS Forwarding

SMS forwarding enables business subscribers to receive incoming texts from their customers in email format. The service feature helps businesses become more accessible to their customers by offering yet another way to be reached over the phone with greater efficiency.

How does SMS Forwarding Work?

SMS forwarding works by routing incoming text messages sent to virtual phone numbers to email addresses chosen by the subscribers. For example, SMS forwarding subscribers can get an SMS enabled virtual number to receive incoming texts from selected countries. Incoming SMS content is swiftly and conveniently forwarded in email format, with the sender’s caller ID and text message.

Here’s a Breakdown of How SMS Forwarding works: 

1. Someone sends an SMS to an assigned virtual number
2. The assigned number automatically sends the SMS to the email on file
3. The SMS is then retrieved by the customer via email (the email address is chosen by the customer, and they can use up to 2 emails).
