The feature allows exchanging SMS messages with external users via CLASSOUND service. PBX users can initiate communication directly from Collaboration and also use their mobile apps for further SMS exchange. For this purpose, you need to have activated CLASSOUND DID on your PBX and assign it as Office number for those PBX users who need exchanging SMS messages with their customers. External users can send messages to a company number published on a website (available only for US/ Canadian DIDs). 

Note

Note: By default, Wildix provides a package of 200 SMS per each user. Once the package is used, a fee will be charged for each sent SMS. You can check the fee on WMP -> Price list -> CLASSOUND.
