Do you support Inbound and Outbound messages to Short Codes?
Yes. However, some Services/Online platforms ONLY support SMS to Wireless Numbers(ATT Wireless, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile etc...). Because we are not a Wireless Provider, our Numbers will appear as Non-Wireless.

The same applies when these platforms send messages from Regular 10-digit Phone Numbers. Sending side has to permit the use of Non-Wireless Numbers.

- PayPal Credit, Twitter, Uber Eats, Wells Fargo, Yahoo
