How Call in Studio Works / FAQ
Can I Receive SMS/Text Messages?
Yes. Most custom phone numbers purchased on the Call in Studio platform receive SMS/text messages by default.
Incoming SMS/text messages are billed at 2¢/message and can be accessed under the MY SHOWS section (even if your phone number is not assigned to a show/meeting).
This feature cannot be disabled. Sending text messages is not available at this time.
