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?

Hi Brian,

SMS for Office (SMS via SharePoint) is a SharePoint App (add-in) already available since 2016. IT allows you to send SMS to SharePoint users, AD security groups and even Office 365 groups. You can install the add-in from here https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/office/WA104380716?tab=Overview

Pricing :

The add-in requires you to purchase licenses from within the add-in that come with free SMS for you to use. Post exhausting the free SMS that comes with license , you can send SMS by adding credits.

Hi Brian,
The Teams SMS add-on is not yet available but we are on track to release the Teams add-on this quarter (before the end of March). There is a monthly subscription for the Chatabox service which you can find https://www.chatabox.co.uk/click-to-text-pricing/ and this price will be the same for Teams.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Best regards
Mike
