    HI Info Omniwish,

    Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

    Yes, you can use the same ACS however if you use same number then all messages will be counted against same qota and billing and this might increase your total cost.

    Also, it can be confusing for users to receive messages from same number in staging as well as prod.So please keep this thing in your mind
