I'm considering this SMS addon to our Community Edition, however, I have a question regarding how the number will appear to a user. So when we send out a text, will the user see a message from a full number or will it be a shortened number?

Hello It depends on the SMS Gateway provider. In most cases SMS Gateways have a filed, where you can specify the number or a text (e.g Company name), which will be displayed as SMS sender. I hope this answers your question.
