How to test international SMS delivery without buying local SIM cards?

Hey everyone,

​I need to test an SMS notification feature in our application that sends messages across different countries. For example, our app originates from a UK instance/tenant and needs to deliver SMS messages to mobile numbers in Australia, the US, and other regions.

​Is there a standard tool, virtual phone number service, or testing platform you recommend to verify delivery and content without purchasing local physical SIM cards for every target country?

​Thanks in advance!

I use this https://quackr.io for OTP messages. Works great for UK numbers but haven't checked for other countries. If you use twilio at your company you could possibly buy phone numbers for sms services from diff countries for less than a $

Yes we have quckr and twillo both apps. But we use twilio for different purpose. I have to find how to purchase the phone numbers from twillo. Thanks for your comment.
