United Kingdom Genesys Cloud SMS users

Beginning May 27, 2024, organizations must register newly purchased numbers before they can send outbound messages. In Genesys Cloud, new numbers display in pending status. After purchasing the numbers, administrators must send a request to Genesyscloudsms@genesys.com, receive and complete the registration form, and then return the registration form to Genesyscloudsms@genesys.com. Genesys in turn submits the information to the wireless carrier for approval. When the carrier approves the number, Genesys activates it for the organization to use.
