Answer
The features of SMS numbers that Vonage has available are listed by country in the table below.
If you need to receive SMS in a country that isn't listed below, you can use numbers from one of the countries that has international reach. For maximum international inbound reach, we recommend numbers from Sweden (see also SMS + Voice Numbers Features Overview). This requires your customers to send international SMS.
For numbers that are available for purchase upon request, contact your Account Manager to start your order. On-demand requests can take up to 3 weeks to complete.
