There are several third-party services that offer sms integration with Microsoft 365 or active directory, allowing you to send emergency alerts to users' mobile numbers stored in the active directory attribute. these services typically provide APIs or connectors that can be used to integrate with Office 365 or Azure active directory.
I just signed up for the phone system through MS Teams but don't see the SMS feature. Has that ever been rolled out? If not, how soon will it be rolled out and will the system allow for both SMS and MMS?
dom23 Using Falkon SMS now you can send & receive texts via MS Teams.
Has SMS for Office (SMS via SharePoint) become available? Also, will there be any additional cost to have it added as an addon to SharePoint? I noticed a third party SMS is available at cost, is this it?
