    Hi Amit,

    The answer is no. You can use RingCentral SMS API to send text messages from a RingCentral phone number (phone number under your account) to any mobile phone number. However, we don't support sending a text message to an international number.

    Thanks got it. I created developer account and got phone number as well. If RingCentral doesn't support sending a text message to an international number(i.e.my Indian phone number), then how should I test my solution ?

    You can login to your sandbox account at https://service.devtest.ringcentral.com and add a new user, choose a direct phone number and assign that to the new user. Then download the PC/MacOS RingCentral soft-phone (https://www.ringcentral.com/office/features/softphone/overview.html) to test sending or receiving text messages from/to your bot.
    Remember that the sandbox credentials are different from the login credentials to log into your RingCentral developer account.
