SMS messaging provider in New Zealand

[Trevor_Couper]

We have a number of clients in New Zealand that would like to use the SMS messaging service in 3CX. Unfortunately there's no provider available.

I have heard that UFONE NZ are awaiting interpo approval from 3CX for this facility.

Are you able to provide an update on the likely approval of UFONE NZ?

Many thanks

Maybe you can try using Twilio/Telnyx Hosted SMS? They port only the messaging part so voice stays with your current provider.

Unfortunately, there's no ETAs or list of upcoming providers. This is pretty much all up in the air right now but rumors say there might be a more open API coming, so we'll see!

Any updates yet on getting Ufone setup as an SMS provider? I have a few customers in NZ that would like to use this feature but don't want to sign up to an overseas provider. Ufone would be perfect for them.

Thanks.

The status is still the same for the time being.

If there are any updates in this area, I'm fairly certain that there will be a blog post about it, so keep an eye out!
