In plain terms
What is own-number SMS with VoxiSMS?
VoxiSMS own-number SMS is an optional integration that sends supported business messages through a connected Android phone, active SIM, mobile number, and carrier plan. It is separate from native VoxiPlus SMS for eligible business numbers. Choose it when customers should recognize the mobile sender and your team can keep the device powered, connected, and available for the approved messaging workflow.
