Mon, 17 Mar 2025 16:00:00 GMT

We’re excited to announce the launch of SMS (text messaging) services, now included at no extra cost with your VBuzzer phone service plan! You can enjoy seamless text messaging as part of your existing subscription — packed with features to keep you connected like never before.

SMS is currently in beta -- please bare with us as we finalize a few features (including message layout, archiving, etc...).

What’s Included?

With our new SMS service, you can:

Receive texts from anywhere: Get messages from any number worldwide, keeping you connected globally.
Send texts across North America: Reach any SMS-enabled number in Canada and the USA with ease.
SMS to Email Alerts: Have your text messages forwarded to your email inbox for easy access and record-keeping. Simply contact us to have SMS to Email Alerts enabled.
Push Alerts: Receive instant notifications on most browsers or devices when a new message arrives—no need to keep checking. Simply login to the User Portal from the device you wish to receive the alerts on.

Whether you’re catching up with friends, coordinating with colleagues, or staying in touch with family, SMS is a fast and flexible way to communicate—all included in your current plan.

How It Works

User Portal Access: Send and receive SMS directly from within our User Portal. It’s your one-stop hub for managing texts with ease. (Stay tuned—future updates will bring SMS functionality to the Real Softphone app!)
Stay Notified: With SMS to email and push alerts, you’ll know the moment a new message comes in, wherever you are—on your phone, tablet, or computer.
P2P Messaging Only: This service is designed for personal, one-to-one conversations. Mass marketing or bulk messaging is not permitted under any circumstances.
