Question

SMS API stopped working for PRODUCTION *after* RC 1/20 update

My SMS were working Sunday. However, on Monday, they stopped working for production (sandbox stil works). I then noticed RingCentral had an update... I've contacted support, and was supposed to receive a call back yesterday, but did not. So while I'm going that route, I thought I would post here.

So this is the code I test production with. Haven't changed a thing. Also, when I send an SMS using this code, I receive a normal message queued response, with id and all the response data (same as I do with sandbox), but the SMS never arrives. I've tried with multiple phone numbers to test.

In Sandbox, the $ring_from number is the one that is included in my RC account credentials page. For production, the number shown is our 877 number, but for production I use the assigned number for extension 101, which is different, as you can send from the 877 number.

While I await RC support, anyone run into a similar issue?

In the meantime, I need to find plan B... it's been a few days now...

I just signed up for Twilio. Had SMS working in 2 minutes. I guess RC can take as long as they want to get back to me now...
