Numbers
Numbers is the name of the service for buying, configuring, and using numbers over Infobip.
Numbers enables you to purchase numbers, which you can use for SMS, MMS, or Voice communication. If yo u already have a number procured elsewhere but want to use it over Infobip, you can also request it to be imported.
