By default, the display name is set to the phone number. **Forward to:** ExchangeDefender SMS Proxy enables you to forward an incoming TXT/SMS message to up to 5 SMS recipients (cell phone numbers in the same country, \*charges may apply), email, Slack Microsoft Teams. Just provide the required information and click on **Save Changes**. Additional Information [¶](#additional-information) ----------------------------------------------------- ExchangeDefender SMS Proxy provides a log of SMS messages available under **Message Logs**. All incoming messages are logged with a timestamp, message, and the source of the message (sender’s cell phone number) For compliance purposes, **Account History** saves all routing and configuration settings made to the number over time. Because staff can be frequently added/removed from the forwarding settings, this log will help you identify who received the message at a point in time even if you don’t have access to their mobile phone or a compliance archiving service for email or Slack/Teams channels. FAQ [¶](#faq) --------------- **How many SMS recipients can I forward the message to?** You can forward SMS to up to five (5) different mobile phone numbers. If you need more than 5 please contact sales, or use the email address of their mobile phone to work around the SMS limitation. **What happens if staff replies to the copied text message from their phone?** Your virtual number is configured similarly to a group chat, everyone that is set to receive a copy of the SMS will get a copy of their response. (Nothing will be sent back to the original sender) **What if I get a ton of messages?** Please contact sales. We have special pricing for volume users. **How do I terminate the service?** You can terminate the service of any number at any time by going to [https://support.ExchangeDefender.com](https://support.exchangedefender.com). Click Service Manager > SMS Proxy > Manage (pick a number) > Terminate number. **Can I have multiple numbers in the same account?** Of course. You can have as many as you wish. There is even a **Display Name** label for each so you can tell which person, team, or promotion it’s assigned to. **Can my number receive “shortcode” messages?** Yes, please submit a support request to enable shortcode support. Please be aware of the limitation of shortcode numbers (there is no way to send shortcode internationally). **Can I modify the template for the email notification?** Not at this moment, but we’re working on it. **How do I create a webhook for Microsoft Teams?** Please see this article from Microsoft Documentation: [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/webhooks-and-connectors/how-to/add-incoming-webhook](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/webhooks-and-connectors/how-to/add-incoming-webhook) **How do I create a webhook for Slack?** Please refer to Slack documentation: [https://slack.com/help/articles/115005265063-Incoming-webhooks-for-Slack](https://slack.com/help/articles/115005265063-Incoming-webhooks-for-Slack) Solutions --------- - [Stop Spam & Malware](/email-security) - [Hands-Free Email Backup](/livearchive-backup) - [Instant Email Recovery](/inbox) - [Send Private Emails](/corporate-email-encryption) - [Train Against Email Threats](/spearphishing) - [Share Files Safely](/web-file-server) Company ------- - [About ExchangeDefender](/about-us) - [Compliance & Legal](/our-compliance) - [Become a Partner](/partners) - [Support Portal Login](https://support.exchangedefender.com/) - [Microsoft 365 Email Management](/managed-email-operations) - [AI Advisory Service](/management-ai) ![ExchangeDefender](/assets/images/dark-xd-logo.png)USA: +1 (407) 465-6800 United Kingdom: 0800 8620149 Australia: +61 0390010641 Fax: +1 (954) 839-8737 [ ](https://www.facebook.com/ExchangeDefender) [ ](https://www.twitter.com/XD_Defender) [ ](https://www.linkedin.com/company/exchangdefender) [ ](/blog) © 2026 Own Web Now Corp - All rights reserved </> with ❤️ in Orlando [SLA](/sla) [TOS](/tos) [PRIVACY](/privacy-end-users) [AUP](/aup) We're Here to Help 👋 -------------------- Tired of AI 🤖 and hold music?
