Hosted SMS enables you to send and receive text messages on voice-enabled numbers you currently use with a different carrier. It has no impact on your voice services. We simply register the number for SMS, allowing messages to be routed to and from the platform.
Hosted SMS is currently available in Beta for the US and Canada. Mobile numbers are not supported at this time. VoIP numbers from select providers will be supported in the future. Additionally, numbers already associated with a Twilio account for voice services cannot be transferred to another Twilio account for SMS usage.
