# SMS

> Read incoming SMS and verification codes, filter messages, and send an SMS from your voice number.

SMS keeps incoming and outgoing messages, including verification codes, in one place. You can filter by voice number and send a new message from an active number.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open SMS">
    Open **SMS** under **CALLS**. The page shows **Every message. Every code. In one place.** and an **All messages** list.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Filter or refresh messages">
    Use the number filter to choose **All numbers** or one active voice number. Click **Refresh messages** to fetch the latest messages. The table shows **From**, **To**, **Message**, **Status**, and **Sent Time**. Times are displayed in IST.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read a verification code">
    Verification-code messages appear with the incoming messages for the related number. Use the eye icon to view the full message. When a current code is available, use **Copy verification code**. Expired codes are marked as too old to show.

    <Note>Opening an unread verification-code message marks it as read.</Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the SMS composer">
    Click **Send SMS**. In **New message**, choose an active number in **From**, enter the recipient in **To**, and type your message in **Message**. The recipient must include a country code, for example `+14155552671`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send the message">
    Keep the message within **1,600 characters**, then click **Send SMS**. Eazybe shows the message status in the list. To close the composer and keep your draft, use **Close and keep draft**. To discard it, use **Discard draft**.

    <Warning>Sending SMS is a real message to the recipient and may incur messaging charges. Check the number and message before clicking **Send SMS**.</Warning>
