Summary

We're thrilled to announce that Twilio has launched its SMS capabilities globally, enabling developers to send and receive SMS messages to over 150 countries worldwide using the same API. This move allows developers to reach anyone in the world with voice and SMS without geographical limitations, and supports dozens of languages including Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Greek, and Russian with Unicode support. To get started, visit your Twilio account and edit the country permissions dashboard to enable global SMS for specific or all countries. Pricing varies depending on destination, and recipients will be able to respond at their regular carrier price. UK is not currently supported for global SMS but UK Twilio numbers are enabled for global voice and local SMS messaging. For more information, visit the Twilio documentation and resources hub.
