Setting up a virtual MMS number
To receive MMS messages, you’ll need to purchase an MMS-capable virtual mobile number. Here’s how:
- Login to your Notifyre account
- Go to Settings from the left navigation
- Select Numbers
- Click the Virtual SMS & MMS Numbers tab
- Click Add New on the right-hand side of the screen
- In the pop-up window:
- Select your Country
- Choose SMS and MMS from the Number Type dropdown. Note: There is no number type selection for United States numbers as MMS is enabled by default.
⚠️ If you select SMS (Only), the number will not support MMS. This cannot be upgraded later—you’ll need to purchase a new MMS-capable number.
Key Considerations for MMS Setup
