3. Click **Dispatch Notifications**.

If technician photos still aren't appearing in notification text messages:

1. Go to the top toolbar and click **Settings** ![A simple icon representing a settings gear. ](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/icon-gnav-settings-inactive.png).
2. In the side panel, go to **Phones > Phone Numbers**.
3. Check if the *Outbound MMS* number is a local number. If it's not, change it to a local number. You can also change the *Outbound SMS* number to the same local number, but it's not required.

To test if it works:

1. Create a fake job for testing or use an existing job and change the customer's phone number temporarily.
2. Dispatch a technician to a job.
3. Make sure the dispatch notification appears as you want it.
