Did I miss the announcement of the end of support for SMS messaging from Exchange Online?
Some of our users have been using SMS alerts from exchange online as described here. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/text-messaging-notifications-in-outlook-web-app-4154bd15-4f2b-4854-8297-1...

Hi Adrian Hyde
Searched - nothing to say that the functionality has been deprecated.
Follow the link Victor provided (https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/options/textmessaging) and it will take you to the Text Messaging section under General mailbox options
Select Set Up Text Messaging and it will give you the options
AFAIK on 365 this is for Web App Only, so wouldn't likely appear in the ribbon.
Hope that answers your question.
Best, Chris

ChrisHoardMVP- I guess this was indeed an omen of things to come! SMS capability is going away.

Yeah, I had a feeling they were winding it down. Thanks Adrian Hyde for confirmation this is the case - and confirmation on the eventual fate of this functionality.
