Subject: Sending Text Messages from the UK to the US
Hello everyone,
I’m looking for guidance on how to enable SMS functionality for my open phone or any other VOIP service. Are there any options available that do not require an EIN or US registration?
Thank you in advance for your help! I hope you’re doing well.
Best regards,

Hi there!
To set up SMS capabilities for a VoIP service between the UK and the US, you have a few options that typically don’t require an EIN or a US registration. Here are some suggestions:
Twilio: This service allows you to send and receive SMS internationally. You can create an account without needing a US EIN, and they have good documentation on how to set it up with your existing phone number.
Plivo: Similar to Twilio, Plivo offers SMS services for sending and receiving messages globally. You can sign up without needing a US address or registration.
Nexmo (Vonage): Nexmo provides APIs for SMS messaging and can handle international messaging as well. They allow you to create an account without US-specific requirements.
OpenPhone: If you already use OpenPhone, you can check if they support SMS for international numbers or reach out to their support team for guidance on setting it up.
Grasshopper: While primarily a virtual phone system, Grasshopper provides SMS features, and you can check if they facilitate messages internationally.
Generally, ensure that the provider you choose supports SMS from the UK to the US. Always read their terms to confirm that your intended use complies with their guidelines.
Hope this helps, and good luck with your setup!
