bug with 'send SMS' function.

[acco]

Hello.
I made a very simple flow for automating a simple task: (for spam prevention, I changed the true sms address servers). This is the description of the flow:

When I receive a sms message from either one of two sms server (abc@xyz.com or def@xyx.com) that contain in the text number ''44'', I reply a message with the text ''gg*''. The flow contain only two box:

The trigger ''SMS Received'' containing the two sms server address and the text ''44'' as a trigger
and the action box ''Send SMS'' that forward the text ''gg*'' to the server abc@xyz.com

The bug is in the action box ''Send SMS''. It seems that he only accept a phone numbers. The action box Send SMS with a phone number and the flow woks perfectly.

Here is the log:

Is-it a bug? I can reply or send to a sms message server manually with my Samsung Note 2.

Any hints will be appreciated.

Hi,

This is the expected behavior. The action Send SMS can only send regular SMS to a phone (no MMS and no Google Voice text messages).
