SMS Markaz FAQ

All text messages carry a sending number. If you send a text message from your mobile phone, the sending number is, of course, your mobile phone number. When you send a text message through SMS-Markaz, by default, the sending number will be one of the SMS-Markaz equipment numbers. This means if someone replies, their reply will be sent to our system.
