We are a non-profit and a victim service provider. Do we need to create a brand and campaign to use SMS?

Thanks!

    Hey @CelinaA suggest looking into the KBs on Using SMS within the Zoom phone features. Looking into the KBs suggest looking at the prerequisites and ensuring you meet those.

    Hi @CelinaA 

     

    The following articles should explain why you will need to create a 10DLC Brand and at least one Campaign if you are based in the USA for compliance purposes:

    I hope that helps!

    Sorry, but this really does not help me. I have access to the Zoom phone, but never really use it except as VM for the occasional phone call. I do use Zoom for meetings, but never for any type of messaging or texting or sales campaigns.

    I read a few of the articles re SMS/MMS/10DLC and it all seems like some sort of complicated practical joke. I would prefer not to spend several hours trying to figure this all out if I will never use whatever it is.

    Comment?

    Hi @Boru

     

    If you don't plan on using the SMS feature of Zoom Phone, you're not required to do so.
