Number patterns

Number patterns can be used to define mobile numbers (via regular expression) that are not recognised by system. This may be needed when numbering plans are changed or to define numbers that are not supported for other reasons, such as machine-to-machine numbers (M2M).

The system has some default number patterns built-in but custom number patterns can also be defined here. Number patterns require for the region to be defined which will contain the country calling code for the region. A pattern can then be defined using Regular expression patterns.

Kannel compatibility

Kannel compatibility can be enabled to support older SMS clients that may use Kannel to communicate. Although this option can be be used it is highly preferred to use the REST API to send SMS messages.

SMS routing

SMS routing allows for the management of SMS gateways and routing plans.

The status can be tested by pressing the Start test button found on the leftmost side of the gateway list.
