Overview

Sangoma SMS is our text messaging application that allows users to communicate via text messages directly from TeamHub on desktop and web as well as mobile.

Note: The Sangoma SMS app is currently available via the Business Voice platform. This app will be available via the CommUnity platform soon.

Warning

Any message transmitted via our platforms, regardless of use case or phone number type (e.g., long code, short code, or toll-free) will be considered by The Campaign Registry (TCR) to be an Application-to-Person (A2P) messaging.

Per the rules of The Campaign Registry (TCR), Application-to-Person (A2P) SMS and MMS message traffic may not be delivered to US-based end user mobile devices unless your company has been vetted and the message traffic is properly registered as a campaign. 

Additionally some carriers are blocking inbound messages, those originating from mobile devices and transmitted to Sangoma telephone numbers, that are unregistered business/application 10DLC numbers.

For more information on TCR compliance, reference our SMS Campaign Registry Compliance Guides.

For help with registering your SMS Numbers, reference our SMS Campaign Registry User Guides.
