How do virtual SMS numbers work?

Obtain a Virtual SMS Number

Businesses can acquire a virtual SMS number (also known as a dedicated virtual cellphone number or virtual phone number) through Notifyre’s user-friendly online platform.

Send Online Text Messages

Businesses can send texts using virtual SMS numbers via our platform, email, or API from any internet-enabled device, without the need for a physical SIM card.

Manage Replies in SMS Inbox

Businesses can engage in 2-way SMS messaging using Notifyre's online SMS inbox or API with virtual SMS numbers, enabling email notifications for prompt replies.

What’s the difference between virtual SMS numbers and traditional phone numbers?

Traditional Phone Number	Virtual SMS Number
Requires a smart device to work: Traditional numbers need a smart device for sending and receiving SMS.	Works via the internet on your PC or smart device: Virtual numbers work over the internet using platforms like Notifyre’s online SMS service, which is accessible on any internet-enabled device.
Can only send and receive SMS via the smart device: You can only send and receive SMS through the device that has the SIM card.	Can send and receive SMS via various platforms: SMS can be sent and received through web-based platforms, email to SMS, or existing business applications via API integration.
Requires a SIM card and carrier: Traditional numbers need a SIM card and are tied to a specific carrier.	Can be used without a SIM card and is not tied to any specific carrier: Virtual numbers do not require a SIM card and are not tied to a specific carrier.
Limited personalization capabilities: Traditional phone numbers have very limited means for personalizing customer experiences.	Personalization to enhance customer experience: Boost conversions by leveraging SMS personalization tools such as dynamic fields for customer details, emojis, and Unicode support.
Expensive: SMS rates with traditional numbers can be higher, and plans often come with limitations.	Cost-effective: Notifyre’s virtual mobile numbers offer a cost-effective solution with pay-as-you-go SMS starting from 2 cents and unlimited SMS replies. *Minimum $10 wallet funds purchase amount to get started.
Low Throughput: SMS can be sent to one recipient at a time unless using a specialized service.	High Throughput SMS Broadcast: Virtual numbers can be used to send SMS to thousands of contacts simultaneously.
Non Compliant: Business text messaging must be registered to be compliant. When sending SMS with traditional numbers messages may be blocked by mobile carriers resulting in low delivery rates.	10DLC A2P Compliance: 10DLC Virtual SMS numbers are ideal for large text message campaigns with high message volumes providing and faster delivery speeds. 10DLC registration ensures industry compliance with Mobile Network Operators for improved mass text messaging rates.

All your virtual SMS number questions, answered.

What is A2P messaging?

Application-to-Person (A2P) messaging is when messages are sent to a person using a system. Messages sent using Notifyre are considered A2P messages.

What is a 10DLC number?

A 10 Digit Long Code (10DLC) is a type of virtual SMS number. A 10DLC number enables a business to send Application-to-Person (A2P) SMS messages in the United States. Using a 10DLC increases message reliability, security, and throughput due to The Campaign Registry validation process. Learn more about the 10DLC registration process

What is a virtual SMS number?

A virtual SMS number, often called a virtual phone number, empowers businesses to send and receive text messages. This facilitates seamless two-way communication via SMS, where messages are transmitted to and received from the designated number.

With Notifyre, organizations can leverage an SMS-enabled virtual phone number to enhance communication channels, as it allows instant brand recognition and establishes trust & promotes engagement. Whether you're a start-up or an established enterprise, our virtual numbers for SMS let you reach a wide audience through our mass text messaging service.

With our robust SMS API, you can use an SMS online number to send and receive from your existing systems, for streamlined and efficient business text messaging.

How can businesses get a virtual SMS number?

To send SMS online with 10DLC numbers, you can order a number and start sending instantly. Once you have a virtual SMS number you should register your Brand and SMS Campaigns with the Campaign Registry. Fill out the registration forms in Notifyre to get started.

How many virtual SMS numbers can a business have?

1, 10, 100 or 1000! Have as many virtual business numbers as you’d like, there is no limit. Assign them to different sites, departments, stores and more.

What happens to my virtual SMS number when I cancel my plan?

Your virtual SMS number will be cancelled at the end of your current billing cycle. Until that date, you can still use your number to send and receive SMS. After that date, you will no longer be able to use your virtual SMS number to send and receive SMS.

Can businesses port an existing phone number to Notifyre?

Yes, but please be aware that once your SMS number is ported, you will be unable to make and receive phone calls as it will be turned into a virtual SMS number.

What are the character limits for sending SMS with Notifyre?

Character limits and message parts apply when sending an SMS through Notifyre. It is important to be aware of message characters as this can affect your total message cost.

The maximum character limit for a single SMS text message is 160 characters or 1 message part.

However, Notifyre does not restrict its users from sending an SMS text message that is longer than 160 characters (unless Character Limit is toggled ON under SMS Settings).

If a longer message (multi-part message) is sent, each message has a maximum of 153 characters due to seven characters being needed to facilitate re-joining of the message on delivery. For longer messages sent, the SMS is split into two or more messages that may be reassembled on delivery, so they are a single message (or, on some handsets, may be delivered as a series of separate SMS).

If you send an SMS text message that contains more than 160 characters or 1 Message Parts, every 153 characters or part thereof will be charged as an additional SMS message.

For example, if a SMS text message is sent with 300 characters, the SMS will contain 2 Message Parts and therefore the second Message Part will be charged as an additional SMS text message.

Can businesses receive SMS replies with a virtual SMS number?

Yes, with a virtual SMS number you will be able to receive SMS replies from customers. You can respond to these replies in the Conversations tool or by sending an new text message.
