You customer get SMS from your Native number, so who build trust. Number two is a low cost. In some countries, if you use international number, SMS cost is very expensive. In some case, $0.30, even $0.60. Even some case, I found that it around $1 per SMS, which is not feasible for business. You just need to pay for custom premium WIV cost per actions, one cents and your local SMS provider actual cost.
