If your VanillaSoft VoIP number is blocked from sending SMS messages, or you just want to have the ability to send messages from different numbers, you can add SMS numbers within your VanillaSoft profile. Using different numbers helps increases your deliverability by letting you send more SMS messages with a higher success rate. It's suggested to always use a healthy SMS number, which you can read more about in our SMS Number Health Meter for USHA Agents article. 

Note: Following these steps may result in additional charges. Please refer to our Additional SMS Charges for USHA Agents article for more information.
