Verified SMS

Verified SMS (vSMS) adds sender verification and branding to business SMS messages, making these messages safer and more trustworthy.

This product is available through a partnership between Google and 8x8

Verified SMS helps businesses enhance their conversations with users, build trust, and prevent scams. Verified SMS works by verifying, on a per-message basis, that content is sent by a specific business. When a message is verified, users see the sender's business name, the sender's business logo, and a verification badge in the message thread.

All communications are secure, and message content is never shared with Google.
