Phone Number Lookup: Verification of Text-Enabled VS Landline

October 20, 2022

The system now has the ability to confirm if a number entered in the ‘Cell Phone’ field of a Contact Profile is text-enabled versus identified as a land-line or not text enabled. 

This verification process is performed in the following instances: when a new Contact is added, when the number in the Cell Phone field is edited, and/or when the mobile phone icon to the right of the Cell Phone number is clicked. If the number is verified to be text-enabled, the ‘Ok to SMS?’ toggle will be set to active (on) and the corresponding Text tab will be available for use.  If the number is determined to not be text-enabled/a landline number, the toggle will be set to in-active (off), the Text tab will not be accessible, and a statement in red will appear next to the toggle stating “Landline number, SMS not allowed.”
