What is a virtual SMS number?

A virtual SMS number, often referred to as a virtual phone number, empowers Australian businesses to send and receive text messages online. This enables seamless two-way communication via online SMS, where messages can be sent from a Notifyre-hosted Virtual SMS number and then replies received and available online or via SMS API. 

With Notifyre, organisations can utilise an SMS-enabled virtual phone number to enhance communication channels, as it allows for instant brand recognition which establishes trust and promotes engagement. 

Whether you're a start-up or an established enterprise, our virtual numbers for SMS enable you to reach a wide audience through our Australian messaging service. With our robust SMS API, you can use an SMS online number to send and receive messages from your existing systems, for streamlined and efficient business text messaging.

Not all have email but most have a mobile phone with an SMS reminder being the preferred option because snail mail just does not work. Notifyre makes SMS so simple and lightning fast and a great value for money offering.

Easy to Use and Reliable
Pros: It's easy to use and reliable, consistently working without crashing. Their support team even reached out to me before I started using it, offering help—something very rare in my experience. Kudos to the company! Cons: None that I found. I used it with Chrome on a Mac, and it worked perfectly. Overall: It’s easy, quick, and does exactly what it claims.

Excellent Service and Seamless Transition
“After facing continuous issues with our previous provider, switching to Notifyre has been a breath of fresh air. We’ve been using their service for about a month now, and the difference is night and day. The platform is incredibly user-friendly, and the setup process was smooth and straightforward. The most impressive aspect of Notifyre is the reliability — no more service interruptions or delivery delays.”
