Hi fellow Nerds, I'm new here but grateful for your help in advance :)

I have tried a few products but they're all sending from a shortcode. I really need this to be a normal number that it comes from (either mine or a virtual number)

What I am hoping to achieve is to send txts from an NZ number, (not shortcode) Then I want notifications of responses so that I can re-txt the people an answer to their query.

Any suggestions?
