These failures (and solutions) affect both Standalone & GB Cloud CAS systems. |
CAS relies on Twilio or Nexmo to send SMS messages. The message is submitted to them, and a verification code is received back when they accept it. The verification code is saved in the Master log.
The message must be formatted properly, and must include a valid phone number (provided by the customer). If the phone number being submitted is indeed valid, then several possibilities ariseother possible points of failure come into question.
Is your GB Operator account in good standing? Each SMS costs only a trivial amount, but for obvious reasons GB must seek reimbursement for the credit we extend. When your account is suspended, your SMS access will be blocked (amongst other services).
Check your account: https://generalbytes.atlassian.net/l/c/zd9o1R4b
then contact Support to resume service: https://www.generalbytes.com/en/support
Is Twilio (or Nexmo) experiencing outages? Check their API status:
Twilio: https://status.twilio.com/
Nexmo (now: Vonage): https://api.vonagestatus.com/
Is the target phone capable of receiving SMS messages?
Seems obvious, but a test SMS would eliminate it as a possibility.
Are other phones receiving SMS' as expected? It’s the number (or their carrier)!
Have you recently changed your Twilio or Nexmo account settings? Something may be amiss there.
Try using the GB default settings to eliminate it as a possibility.
If you have your own custom Twilio (or Nexmo) account, is it active?
Check your Twilio/Nexmo account status.
