    Hello All...I am an express user and recently received an email from 8x8 saying "Starting Nov 1, 2022, 8x8 Express licenses will no longer be able to send Business SMS and MMS. "

    The term "Business SMS and MMS" has me confused.  My usage of 8x8 is very limited.  I just use one 8x8 phone number for calls and sending/receiving individual text messages.  In other words, I am not sending any mass/multi-recipient text messages via my 8x8 account.

    Does anyone know if this communication from 8x8 is telling me that I will not be able to send/receive ANY text messages from my account as of 11/1...or is this referring to some sort of business mass texting capability that is being eliminated?

    Thanks
