The Azure Communication Service Github repo says that the service has the capability to "Send and Receive SMS messages",
But I only see "Send" functions in both Microsoft Docs (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/communication/sms) and the Python SDK Github repo (https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/tree/main/sdk/communication/azure-communication-sms).
I don't see anything about RECEIVING SMS on the ACS roadmap either.
How is this done using the ACS Python SDK?
ACS already supports receiving messages through Event Grid. In summary you need to register to the SMS Received event, and you should receive Event Grid events each time linked number receive a message.
For more information you can check SMS FAQ and our QuickStart sample here Quickstart: Handle SMS and delivery report events
When you set up the Event Grid you can configure it to forward the notification to a Web Hook for example and in this way, you can notify your application about the incoming message.
