I am really hoping this feature is being worked on or is something being prioritized. Would it really take that much code to implement?
It makes it hard for me to use voip.ms in a normal way with friends. I have to explain to them my entire setup and it seems strange and is alienating. I want to talk with people about “look at the savings with voip.ms” and not “yeah, sorry it doesn’t have this feature that everyone else can normally do".”
I’m glad I’m not the only one who is using a voip.ms number as a main personal number (for 12 years now), and is running into friction like this. It’s becoming harder and harder to participate in the world with a voip.ms phone number. (Including many issues that are beyond voip.ms’s control, such as how many companies are becoming distrustful of VoIP numbers, and refusing to allow use of them.) The lack of proper group texts is an impediment not just for communicating with friends, but with vendors/contractors/etc. who seem to increasingly take for granted that they can loop in others as needed.
I may soon need to port my main number back to a regular mobile provider just to deal with the world. Though it would certainly be sad and annoying to lose the many powerful voip.ms features I use. 
It’s just a really great feature if they can add it. I wish I knew why they weren’t adding it, or if they are trying. If they can make texting as full-featured as a normal number, it would make it much more of an appealing option for many people.
Totally agree. Not sure why the company is not focusing on improving that. SMS/MMS are probably the most important basic functions for phones. Voip.ms still has a lot of holes: delays, MMS, international character support, etc. They always use the excuse that these issues are due to voip constraints. But other voip providers seem to have done much better.
I completely agree with everyone here. Group texting is a basic expectation in 2026, and the lack of it makes using a voip.ms number as a primary line unnecessarily difficult. Friends, contractors, and businesses all rely on group threads, and it is frustrating having to explain why a modern phone number cannot participate in something so standard.
At this point, I am genuinely starting to wonder whether voip.ms develops these features themselves or if they are simply a reseller passing along whatever the upstream provider rolls out. Every time there is a technical issue, the explanation seems to be “the upstream provider,” which makes it hard to understand what voip.ms actually controls.
This feature would make a major difference for those of us who want to stay with voip.ms, but the ongoing silence around it is becoming discouraging.
Yes. SMS/MMS needs some
