### Answer The business information requirement for SMS cannot be bypassed. This is due to A2P (Application-to-Person) 10DLC compliance requirements enforced by telephony providers, not Retell itself. [(1) ]() To enable SMS on Retell, you must go through these steps: - Get approved for a business profile (free) - Get approved for a brand ($4 for low-volume or $45 for standard) - Get approved for an SMS campaign ($15) This is a manual review process on the telephony provider side and can take 2-3 weeks. Alternative option: If you already have a Twilio number with SMS capabilities enabled (where you've already completed A2P registration) , you can bring your own Twilio number by providing your Account SID and Auth Token in the Retell dashboard under "Setup SMS Function" in Advanced Add-Ons. Unfortunately, there's no way to use personal mobile numbers for automated SMS through Retell. [(3) ]()
