Need service that can send out SMSs that show my main, verified Caller ID
I have a data only plan and ported my number to Fongo. Phone calls are thus taken care of, but outgoing SMSs are not. I did not purchase Fongo's SMS packages because I use WhatsApp for almost all messaging. Once in a blue moon though, I need to send out an SMS that has to appear as coming from my phone number (currently with Fongo). It should not show up as coming from Unknown or random numbers.
So far, I tried:
1) Rebvoice (Betamax) where I was able to verify my (Fongo) number but the messages I send appear as being sent from random numbers. Their Service can't fix that. Interestingly enough, my outgoing phone calls DO show my correct Caller ID.
2) Voico, where I cannot verify my phone number (Fongo probably blocks the incoming SMS) and the subsequent verification phone call errors out every time.
TLDR, I need a free/cheap messaging service that can send out SMSs that show my real Caller ID. Suggestions?
