I am using TeleSign SEND SMS API and in the SMS body if I include # symbol the SMS body is truncated.
For example:
if SMS Body is:
Send us an email at: customersupport#domainname.com
Then the user would receive:
Send us an email at: customersupport
How do I include Special characters like # in the SMS body?
The issue was at the backend side of the TeleSign which has been resolved after opening a ticket with their support team.

I am new to Twilio. We have a requirement in the project as follow -
Send an outbound SMS to a given number. The message body is static text and should be defined using a template on Twilio(TwiML), so that client can change the message body anytime without making any changes in the backend application.
I have gone through the Twilio documentation to understand how to use TwiML, but couldn't find any document or article which explains how to use TwiML for sending an outbound SMS. Currently I am using following code to send a SMS and the message is configured in the Spring Boot application.properties file.
Message message = Message.creator(new PhoneNumber(phoneNumber),
new PhoneNumber(fromPhoneNumber),
messageBody).setStatusCallback(URI.create(callBackUrl)).create();
Does anyone know how to use TwiML template to send an outbound SMS. Can someone help me to solve this problem. Thank you.
What is Twiml?
Twiml is instructions for Twilio, how to respond to an incoming phone call,SMS, etc...
What is Twiml
It is not for outbound actions.
To initiate an SMS , you should use the Twilio api which is what you are doing when you use the sdk such as Message.creator
I have a Twilio messaging service with Copilot and the sticky sender feature enabled.
I would like to view the phone number that Copilot assigns to my recipients when I send them a message.
With the Ruby client, I get a MessageContext object when I send a message, but it only has the
messaging service SID - the from method returns nil.
Currently, this is how I'm sending messages:
def send(from, to, message)
client = Twilio::REST::Client.new(ACCOUNT_SID, AUTH_TOKEN)
client.api.account.messages.create(
body: message,
messaging_service_sid: from,
to: to,
status_callback: BASE_URL + '/sms_status/status',
)
end

I'm not sure, but you might not have the phone number at the time you make the API request using a messaging service. This request really just queues up the message to be sent.
I would check the message object once it has been sent. You have a status callback URL setup, so you should be able to either inspect the parameters sent to that URL or look up the message from the API using its SID and then get the number that was used.
I have a Twilio SMS number configured to send a request to a WebServer via a Webhook URL. What I am trying to understand is can I pass the 'from' phone number and 'SMS body' as parameters in the Webhook URL?
For example:
https://myserver/v1/sms?phoneNo='FROM'&message='MSG'
I understand I can extract this information from the Body on the server but this would require additional coding, testing, deployment etc... on the web server.
Thanks.
Keep the URL as https://myserver/v1/sms (Twilio will add the parameters for you when it makes the request)
To the right of the webhook url field, change in the drop-down from HTTP POST to HTTP GET
Save
With this configuration, Twilio will send the parameters with its request as URL query parameters.
The names for the two parameters mentioned in your question are
From (The phone number that sent the message) and
Body (The text body of the message.).
Other parameters are: MessageSid, SmsSid, AccountSid, MessagingServiceSid, To, NumMedia
You can read more here: https://www.twilio.com/docs/sms/twiml#twilios-request-to-your-application
If you'd like to have your own names for the GET parameters
then, probably the easiest would be to use Twilio Studio with a HTTP REQUEST widget and configure the phone number with Studio Flow instead of Webhook.
The HTTP REQUEST will let you make a GET request and add your own parameters to it.
For the values you would use {{trigger.message.From}} for your phoneNo and {{trigger.message.Body}} for your message.
You can read more about Twilio Studio's widgets here: https://www.twilio.com/docs/studio/widget-library#http-request
we have a smpp server for sending sms. we can send UDH of each message if we want to use EMS or send Picture message , Ringtones or etc.
we have some users in our network so they can send to us sms message ( including UDH , Mclass and ... ). we want validate UDH of These messages before we send this messages to our smpp server.
i try many days to found guide about Validation of SMS UDH. ( UDH = User Data Header part of a sms packet )
i found some library written in java so that make UDH . but out problem is that we need to validate not build !
i need a library for UDH validation.
if that is not exist i want to know so how we can validate UDH ?
I'm working on a support app which would allow customers to mail to support#myapp.com and reply to this same email address. I have set up ticket+[id]#myapp.com to be visible within the support team whenever there's a new ticket created. I am using Cloudmailin for the incoming emails and SendGrid for outgoing.
I want to be able to store the ticket ID in the email headers of the email that is sent to the customer from support#myapp.com. When the customer replies to support#myapp.com, the app will then read the headers and know which ticket ID to route to. I have read up that it is not recommended to include X-custom headers as it would get stripped off by some mail servers.
There are some suggestions to use the Reply-To header to store the ticket ID but I can't seem to find that header in Cloudmailin.
Appreciate any suggestion on this matter.
I think you have the right idea in using the +'s to differentiate the emails. To read the incoming email header, you can use the headers[to] in cloudmailin.
Message Sender <sender#example.com>
