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. |

Contacts
Your SMS contact list is tied to your “TeamHub Personal Contacts” located under the Contact tab.
Once a number is stored in your personal contact list, the conversations will show the contact name. If you have started a conversation before the number was saved as a contact, the contact name will not be displayed.
The contacts in the mobile app cannot be updated. To add or update a contact, please use the Contacts tab in TeamHub.
With the mobile app, you can view and start a new conversation with your “Company Directory, Personal Contacts, Phonebook” and by typing a phone number.
Conversation Lists
All your conversations will be stored and top 30 conversations will be displayed.
The conversation list will be synced to the Desktop/Web version. So, if you are sent a message via Sangoma SMS on TeamHub, you will be able to see the same list of conversations both on Desktop and Mobile app.
You can close a conversation, which will remove it from your view. The conversation will re-appear if you receive or send a new message to the same contact or number.
If the number is saved as a personal contact (currently, only available via TeamHub Contacts app), the conversation will show the contact name.
Message Delivery and Status
Anyone sending SMS/MMS messages over a 10DLC number from an application to the US must register for 10DLC. Failure to register your DID will result in message failure. Learn more about 10DLC here.
