Hi, So we recently had RC add the A2P feature added to our Phone numbers and when I tested the High Volume Api I was able to send out a text. But all of a sudden our Prod Application started to return this:

{

    "errorCode" : "MSG-242",

    "message" : "The requested feature is not available"

Can a phone number have both the enhanced Business and A2P feature? And if it can, can you add that back in for us?

client ID: 5D4LUlgTSOXbmSZdZcemO5
Phone Numbers are under the "SMS admin" profile

No, a phone number cannot be provisioned for both EB SMS and HV SMS. I will be either feature if provisioned.

Your account has 2 HV SMS numbers and they are xxx-8335 and xxx-8340. And yes, these 2 numbers are assigned to the extension "8197 - sms admin".

How do you get the error above? Did you authenticate your app with the "SMS admin" user's credentials?

Check what you get if you implement this function in your code

/*

  Read phone number(s) that belongs to the authenticated user and detect if a phone number

  has the A2P SMS capability

*/

async function read_extension_phone_number_detect_a2psms_feature(){

  try {

      let endpoint = "/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/phone-number"

      var resp = await platform.get(endpoint)

      var jsonObj = await resp.json()

      for (var record of jsonObj.records){

          for (feature of record.features){

              if (feature == "A2PSmsSender"){

                // If a user has multiple phone numbers, check and decide which number

                // Can use this number to send A2P text message ...

              }

          }

      }

      if (jsonObj.records.length == 0)

        console.log("This user does not own a phone number!")

      else

        console.log("None of this user's phone number(s) has A2P SMS capability!")

  } catch(e) {

      console.log(e.message)

  }

}
