Hi,
When you buy Business Voice, you get the following features and more:
Phone System - Standard phone features include Voice Mail, Caller ID, call menus, shared phone lines, and emergency calling.
Domestic Calling - Calls within your country or region are free. International plans and toll-free dialing are also available.
Audio Conferencing - Lets you host conference calls with people who don't have Teams or don't have an Internet connection.

There is an on-going feedback request for SMS/MMS support for Microsoft Teams, you can vote on it over here:

There are third party solutions for this though, for example:
