Question
What do you mean by inbound reach?
Applies To
- International Reach
- SMS
- Voice
Answer
International reach refers to whether a number, or service through that number, can access international markets, usually in an inbound capacity.
For example, numbers with international reach can receive inbound messages from other international numbers.
Inbound reach refers to a number's ability to receive SMS or calls.
In some circumstances, the international reach can be used as a phrase to describe the ability of a service to send outbound SMS or make outbound calls to the international market. At Vonage this is usually only in cases where there is a lack of international outbound reach, as good international outbound reach is the default and included from the very beginning with our SMS and Voice APIs.
