#3950 - Verizon Gateway Configuration
Hey Developers!
I am trying to configure an SMS gateway using my Verizon mobile account. I've been trying to piece it together using the info from the following link but thought I'd reach out for a quick solution from the pros: https://thingspace.verizon.com/develop/apis/sms/v1/API%20Reference/Send%20an%20SMS%20Message.html
Thanks in advance! Pete

I have not registered with them and am really just looking for a recommendation on a fairly priced gateway where I can use my Verizon mobile account.
Thank you, Pete

We reccommend Plivo, as they are reliable and have good rates. Your Verizon mobile number doesn't really matter, as from sugarCRM (or suiteCRM) you will be sending via SMS gateway and not via your number. Actually you dont need any mobile number to send SMSesm from SugarCRM via SMS Gateway. You just need to register account with one of them. You will eventually need to buy number from Gateway provider if you will want to receive responses - but that's another story.

Alright, I've gotten it to test fire!!
Will you please shoot me a link on setting up sms as an alert in a leads module workflow and campaign module? I should be good to go once I get that working....

Hi, You can send sms from Leads or Contacts modules only, You should find a link in the Edit dropdown at the record detail page or in the actions dropdown on the List view page. You should find all this information in the user manual as well.
