We need to contact students who do not answer their phones or emails. Can we send a text message to the student's cell phone using an application through TEAMS. We do not want to have to use our own personal cell phones. Thanks!

    Hi Faguy,

    Microsoft Teams does not have a built-in text messaging feature, but luckily, one of its biggest benefits is that it integrates with multiple third-party tools.

    To send a text through Microsoft Teams itself, find a product that allows you to send texts right from the Teams interface.

    You can check in this link which app will allow you to send SMS.

    Since you also mentioned student, I believe that your plan is MS Teams for education. I suggest to get in touch with your IT/Admin if they will allow you to use third-party tools to send SMS.

    Note: This is a non-Microsoft website. The page appears to be providing accurate, safe information. Watch out for ads on the site that may advertise products frequently classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

    I hope this helps, let me know if there's anything else I can assist you.

    Best,

    Jayzar

    In the US, Evolve Cellular also offers this service built on Microsoft Carrier Direct Routing, where a user can send and receive text messages and make phone calls from the SAME number in Microsoft Teams. Check out this YouTube video, Evolve_Cellular_Texting_and_Voice_for_Microsoft_Teams .

    1. Make a phone call from your Microsoft Teams account.
    2. Send a text message from your SAME voice number in Microsoft Teams.

    Bring your existing Microsoft Teams Number or port in a number and then Text and call from the SAME number.

    Visit evolvecellular.com/texting-for-business or call or text 833-TXT-TEAM / 833-898-8326
