Hosted SMS Messaging

Hosted Messaging, also known as Hosted SMS, allows you to either migrate over or enable SMS and MMS text messaging services on your existing application-to-person (A2P) phone numbers.

In other words, if you’re really happy with your API provider’s voice services but want better messaging services, you can stay with your current provider for voice and have your messaging hosted by another provider on those very same numbers concurrently.

What is Hosted SMS?

Hosted SMS is a service that enables businesses to add SMS and MMS capabilities to their existing phone numbers without changing their current voice service provider. This means you can continue to use your trusted voice services while enhancing your messaging capabilities through a different provider.

How does Hosted SMS differ from traditional SMS services?

Hosted SMS allows you to use your existing A2P phone numbers for messaging without needing to switch providers for voice services. Traditional SMS services typically require using a single provider for both voice and messaging, which may not offer the best capabilities for both services.

Hosted SMS offers several advantages, including cost savings, improved reliability, and access to advanced messaging features. It also provides flexibility, allowing you to choose the best providers for both voice and messaging services.

How do I migrate my current messaging services to a Hosted SMS provider?

Migrating to a Hosted SMS provider is straightforward. You can either enable SMS and MMS services on your current A2P phone numbers or port your existing numbers to the new provider. The process involves minimal disruption and ensures a smooth transition.

Can I keep my existing phone numbers when switching to Hosted SMS?
