Features

Real-Time SMS Reception

Incoming SMS messages arrive in your investigation’s inbox immediately. View, archive, and respond from inside the isolated environment — no forwarding to personal devices or external services.
Message Management

Select an SMS # from a region or area code that matches the internet connection and is provided by the same mobile carrier. Maintain consistency between your instance’s desktop, phone, and physical location.

Managed Attribution

SMS numbers are provided by the same mobile carrier and physical device providing internet connectivity to the instance. This ensures continuity of your investigative environment across multiple mediums.
Significant Time and Cost Savings

Save hundreds of hours and substantial costs by using Alias’s virtual SMS service instead of purchasing and managing physical devices and SIM cards. With Alias, you can instantly provision, manage, and even swap out SMS numbers directly within the platform, streamlining your operations and reducing overhead.

Use-Cases

Account Registration

Use Alias’s SMS service to support SMS-based verification flows used during investigative research. This feature supports persistent regional phone-number workflows where the customer is authorized to use SMS verification.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and OTP

Use Alias SMS to receive 2FA challenges and one-time passwords (OTPs) from the services your investigation interacts with, where the customer is authorized. Verification flows stay inside the isolated environment, adding an extra layer of operational security to your investigative work.

Investigation-Linked SMS Numbers

Each environment is provisioned a dedicated regional SMS number that stays with that investigation for its full lifecycle. No number sharing, no rotation surprises.

With SockPuppet SMS capabilities, you gain the tools needed to maintain seamless and secure communications across your investigative environments.

Whether you’re supporting account verification, securing access with 2FA, or communicating with subjects of interest, SockPuppet provides the flexibility and security necessary to operate with confidence. Save time, reduce costs, and keep your operations consistent and secure all from within a single, integrated platform.
