This is known as "white listing" the email address. If you receive an email reply with the text "Your SMS to XXXXXXX could not be sent. The originating email address is not authorised to send SMS", please add the address in the Email SMS section of your account. Delivery Failure - There are no valid recipients for this message. If you get this error and you are sure of the number validity, its possible the contact is opted out. Check the Global Opt Out list in your account to see if the number is there. How do I remove contacts from the Global Opt-Out list? The received SMS is cut off There are several reasons why the SMS can be cut off, when it is rendered on a handset. Here are the most common reasons, from most common to most rare. Email SMS setting When an email address is added to the Email SMS screen, a setting "Message Limit" is set. This defines the maximum number of SMS' that can be used for a single message. If the setting is not set to the maximum value (4 SMS), try increasing this setting. Character count There is a maximum message length that our platform supports. How many characters can I have in my text message? If your Email exceeds this length, then our system will still send the SMS, but the message will stop once it reaches the maximum length. Keep in mind that emoji's or characters from non-English alphabets cut the character limit in half. More details can be found How to add emojis into your message Double line break Because emails often include signatures, containing images, our system will ignore anything in the email after two line breaks (two empty lines for text).
