How do I enable SMS on OneCloud?


Since October 1st, 2021, T-Mobile, AT& T, US Cellular, and Verizon have been enforcing 10DLC fees and policies for all A2P (app to person) SMS/MMS traffic, directly impacting customer's fees for both MMS and SMS messages.

How does this affect me?
This policy and subsequent enforcement directly impacts OneCloud users of SMS/MMS features. All customers currently using these features or planning to use them in the future will need to ensure they comply to avoid high-cost fees for violation of practices and disconnection of OneCloud SMS/MMS capabilities. 

What happens if I don't register my company, brands, or campaigns?
A2P traffic without verified brands and approved campaigns will be blocked. You will no longer be able to send SMS/MMS messages through OneCloud.

We will gladly assist you in getting your brand and campaigns registered so you can continue using OneCloud's SMS/MMS features and avoid non-compliance fees. If you want to register your brands and campaigns today or have any questions, please contact us.

Why are my OneCloud app calls dropping when I am at a remote location like the beach, or the mountains?


OneCloud calls use cellular data, just like a normal carrier phone call. If you find yourself in a remote area with low network connectivity, OneCloud calls can be affected.

There are a few steps you can take to help mitigate these factors. Such as, Turning low power off, or Disabling Wi-Fi connectivity.

Having Low Power Mode on, disables the Background App Refresh, which could prevent the application from working properly.

  • Go to Settings.
  • Locate and tap Battery.
  • Then disable Lower Power Mode if enabled.

When using Wi-Fi, there could be a weak signal or even a firewall that is not allowing RTP/UDP voice traffic to flow properly. This may result in you and the caller being unable to hear one another.

Try disabling WIFI and utilize cellular data instead.
