Sending Text Messages

For the last few days, any sms message I try to send keeps failing. I can receive them but I am not able to respond to my clients.

I'm having the same problem, this is beginning to effect my efficiencies, which will affect my revenues! There is no live support either!

Same problem here. Reported this problem a few months ago. Seemed like it was fixed until just a couple days ago. This is my business....not good and costing me $$$

I have had the same issue for the last couple of days. I've narrowed it down to only my messages going to numbers with AT&T as their provider. My SMS messages are going through to others with other carriers.

Yes, that's what we've been told too.... it's an AT&T issue. But that doesn't resolve the issue, does it?

Yes, I'm having the same issue and confirm that it's ONLY AT&T numbers, which is super odd??

I looked into this a few months back and it appears that wireless carriers are now blocking text messages from RingCentral, as they are a CONSUMER platform, and not a business platform...

I was told to look into carries like mGage, OpenMarket, Sinch, Syniverse, Vibes Media, ZipWhip, or imimobile directly, as these adhere to the business level 10 Digit Long Code (10DLC).


I would love for RC to chime in here, as I was under the impression that they are a business platform?

Same. I am unable to send outbound SMS to AT&T customers. RC customer service said "not my problem" and gave me AT&T's number. AT&T said "not my problem" you need to talk to your app.

RC pushed my case to Tier 2 and said they'd get back to me in 24-48 hour. Its been 24 hours and now they will not answer the technical support line. I am very. very. Frusturated.

Three different AT&T reps said my number is not on any "spam list" or "blacklist" and that it is a RC problem.

I need a resolution by start of business Monday Morning, if not sooner.

Does not sound like my case is an "isolated event" any more. My friend also is experiencing the same thing with his RC account.

I tried however I wasn't able to create a ticket and ended up here. I will however have to do like others have mentioned and look into other services, if the issue isn't resolved in a timely matter.

We have all created tickets. The lack of concrete response and follow up has been disappointing, unprofessional, and costly. All we want is an UPDATE! Telling us it is a known issue is not enough. We need to be able to communicate to those in our companies that have jurisdiction over our telecom spend, exactly what is being done to correct this issue and an ETA for completion. Anything less is consideration to move to a different vendor.

I've been with Ring Central for 12 years and I always had good service until recently. The chat is a joke and I tried to get someone on the phone but it wasn't going thru. I've been trying since 6 this morning. I am so done with them.

It's also funny that it is not listed on your service status. The status shows everything is working. We use the SMS more than the phone for our 5 stores.. Come on, communication is key!!
