# Can you send sms using an Indian virtual number?

## Understand why SMS is restricted on Indian virtual numbers, the TRAI compliance behind it, and alternative messaging options available with FreJun.

Many businesses using cloud telephony expect SMS to work alongside calling features on Indian virtual numbers. However, due to strict TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) regulations, SMS sending from Indian virtual numbers is not permitted. This article explains the regulatory reason behind this limitation and what alternatives businesses can use for customer communication.

If your team relies on transactional or promotional messaging, FreJun offers compliant calling and integration options that help you stay connected with customers without violating telecom guidelines.

No, sending SMS using Indian virtual numbers is not allowed. This restriction is due to TRAI regulations in India, which prohibit SMS functionality on Indian virtual numbers.
