SMS
You can receive SMS on some types of numbers that we provide. It is however not yet possible to send SMS with our service.
All mobile numbers (except the ones listed below) that you purchase from Sonetel as well as city numbers in Canada and United States support SMS.
We deliver these SMS messages to you by email (SMS-to-Email). Emails are sent to the user that the Sonetel phone number is connected to.
We are planning to add the ability to send and receive SMS in our apps, but this function is not available yet.
It is free to receive SMS on your phone numbers, but there is a fair usage restriction.
