The main reason two-way SMS phone numbers are required is because your customers will need to text a keyword to your number to opt-in or opt-out of receiving messages from you. A two-way phone number also lets you gather user feedback, start a conversation, and collect your subscribers’ names, emails, and birthdays to personalize your future messages.
You can get SMS notifications with the text of each SMS received on your number forwarded to the email address of your choice. To enable email notifications, turn on Incoming SMS Alerts in user settings.
Mobile keywords are used in mobile marketing to appeal to a certain target market. By sending a mobile keyword to your number, the sender will automatically subscribe to your SMS service.

A web opt-in widget is a powerful feature that lets your potential customers subscribe to your marketing campaign via a web-based form that can be embedded on a website. You can also use it as a sign up link in an email campaign. Web sign-up widgets are a cost-effective and integral component of any modern marketing campaign that will help you reach new customers and will work well in any industry. Since the success of your marketing campaign depends on how many channels you promote your product on, having a web-based widget is indispensable.
In order to create a widget, click the Tools tab and select Web Sign-up Widgets from the dropdown menu. After accessing the widget creation page, assign a group for your widget and design it via a built-in constructor. The process is native and easy, besides, there’s an option to preview your widget during the creation. After designing the widget and appointing signup messages and redirect URL, select the type of your widget.

Technically, there is no limit. But in reality, mobile carriers are a little more cautious about letting someone send thousands of messages in one go for SPAM reasons.
Besides, the user dashboard has some features that were developed to help you out in this particular situation.
You can assign multiple numbers on a single account and rotate through them while sending SMS messages by ticking a checkbox, so every new message will be sent from a different number. It is highly recommended when sending a large number of SMS messages with similar or identical content.
Moreover, you can automatically rearrange the word positions in your text so each subsequent SMS will be different from the one sent before it.
Finally, there is an option to throttle the sending rate to send your messages at a slower rate. Due to the above-mentioned carrier restrictions, the default (and the fastest) sending speed for a long code is 1 SMS per second. You can go slower in case you’d like to exercise extra caution. The slowest setting available is 10 SMS per minute or an SMS every 6 seconds.
