Dialbird only lets you text certain countries, and the list for texting is shorter than the list for calling. This page covers which countries you can reach and what you will see if one is off limits.

​
Countries you can text

Where you can text depends on where your business is based: This is an allow list, not a block list. Any country that is not in your row is blocked, including countries Dialbird does not support at all. Dialbird works out the destination country from the number you are texting.
Texting and calling are not the same. A UK business can call the US and Canada, but can only text the UK. So you might be able to ring a US customer and still not be able to text them.

​
What you’ll see

If you try to text a number Dialbird cannot reach, it will not send, and you will be told:
Your workspace can’t send messages to this country.
You will also see a warning as you type the number into the To: box, before you have even written the message, so you find out early rather than after typing everything out.
Needs checking: what should someone do if they need to text a country that isn’t on this list?
