Texting is now randomly not working. We have used Zoom Phone for almost a year.

Hi there, one user is getting the error message, "You don't have a direct number. You cannot start a new conversation" when texting some people.  She can text some people from the desktop app, but not others.

  • We have been using Zoom phone for almost a year
  • We do have 10DLC and a campaign approved / assigned.
  • The phone numbers were ported into Zoom Phone almost a year ago.
  • We haven't made any Zoom admin changes in the Zoom dashboard.
  • We don't bulk send text messages.  Just used in communicating with our customers and vendors.
  • I've send a text message to a person that she can't and it works fine.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Mark, it’s nice to see a Zoom employee engaging with customers. However, if you review this thread, you’ll notice that multiple people have already gone through the basic steps outlined in the troubleshooting article you mentioned. We’re all beyond those initial steps at this point.
