To keep track of your conversations and reply to messages, use the Messenger page. Here you can also send MMS and let AI help you with summaries of your interactions or reply suggestions.
Troubleshoot SMS delivery issues
Are your messages being rejected? Here are some issues that may be preventing you from sending texts and how to resolve them.
1. Your number is not 10DLC or toll-free verified.
- Solution: Verify your toll-free number or register your 10DLC number.
2. You are trying to send text messages to an unsupported destination country.
- Solution: Ensure your number supports the destination country.
3. Your messages are blocked for containing spam or prohibited content.
- Solution: Follow carrier rules and avoid spam-triggering content.
If one of these instances applies to you, you’ll get a link to messaging logs in your CPaaS provider account to see the rejection reason. Resolve these issues with your provider to use our integration.
Set your connected number as the default sender
Navigate to Messenger settings -> Sender settings. Click edit and select your provider’s number. After setting this up, all messages to your selected countries will be sent from your provider’s number. Of course, you need to make sure that the number you are setting as the default is country compliant for the region in which you want to send messages. You can do this by checking the number’s country compliance with your provider.
For other settings, go back to Messenger settings -> BYOC. Click More, then Settings. Edit labels, update login credentials, link more numbers or even disconnect the provider if necessary.
Forward incoming calls to your personal number
To set up forwarding, go to the Messenger settings section, click on the Numbers tab, and enable Call Forwarding from your provider’s number to another number that you define.
That’s it. You’ve now mastered using the TextMagic BYOC service.
