The SMS Conversation Window is a quick and easy way to send and reply to text messages in a central location and have one-on-one conversations with recipients via your own Dedicated Virtual Number.

Turning on the Conversation feature

1. Before you can begin communicating with recipients in the Conversation Window, you first need to own a Virtual Number. You can request a Virtual Number via this page here.

2. Once you own a Virtual Number, you can enable the Conversation feature for that number in the 'Virtual Number' section in MXT.

Note: Only one Virtual Number for one country can be activated at a time.

Starting a conversation

The Conversation Window can be accessed from various sections within MXT just by clicking on the speech bubble for a specific number.
