Texting in Australia and New Zealand with a Bivy Stick
* Sending messages from an Australian number to a US Bivy number is not supported so if most of the recipients you text are Australian/New Zealand numbers it will work best to choose a Bivy Australian number/plan when you activate your Bivy stick. https://bivystick.com/plans/.
*When sending messages, please prefix the recipient's number with +614 for Australia and +64 for New Zealand numbers.
* Messages to New Zealand numbers are received under a short code. The recipient will receive a URL in the message which takes them to a webpage where they can reply. This reply will be sent to the Bivy Stick. (see Web Messaging)
