Facebook Messenger: Receive and send SMS
With Facebook Messenger you can now also receive and send SMS. Currently, however, this is only possible with Android smartphones. We'll show you how the SMS service works on Android smartphones.
Receive and send SMS with Facebook Messenger
First you have to confirm the new feature, because there are still fees for SMS:
- First, call up Messenger as usual.
- If you have the latest function, the messenger now shows you an info screen for the new SMS features. You must confirm this with "OK".
- If, however, no info screen appears, you have to download and open the latest version of Messenger yourself.
- Finally, you have to confirm that you have to use Facebook Messenger as the default messenger for SMS. Otherwise no SMS will arrive in Messenger.
Facebook Messenger: send SMS
- Open Messenger and enter the recipient's phone number at the top.
- Then tap on "Send SMS".
- Now you can enter the text, attach pictures and send stickers / smileys / emoticons.
- Note that fees apply.
