Unable to get SMS alerts to send out via Bulk SMS

Votes:

0

I've gone in to Notification Delivery and selected usa.bulksms.com in the predefined list and entered my account info below with username and password and account ID. I've then in the Notifications section clicked on my object and made the Send to Number field my group ID on Bulk SMS. After all of this i still get an error in the Logs saying

"Error sending "SMS": Number=241508, Message=Password is wrong."

I've also tried the custom URL that some articles mention substituting the ** for the actual username and password and but still have had no luck.

Any one able to help me out with this or point me to a step by step tutorial. I'm at a complete loss right now.

Cheers!

Hello,

Does the password maybe contain white spaces and/or special characters? If so, try changing the password first so that it only contains regular characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) and no white spaces.

I have changed the password to normal letters and numbers. Still no luck.

Password only contains numbers and letters. I've verified it's correct by logging in to bulk SMS.

Here are my settings.

Notification Delivery:

  • SMS Delivery* Service Provider: usa.bulksms.com (Port 5567) User: <BulkSMS Username> Password: <BulkSMS Password> API ID / Account: <BulkSMS User ID>

Notifications:

  • Object* -Send SMS/Pager Message is selected Send to Number: <BulkSMS Group ID> Message: *

Whenever I go to send a test from this object, the email address I have set up on this object sends out just fine but then when it tries to send the text I get the weird "Error sending "SMS": Number=241508, Message=Password is wrong." Message.

Are you using the bulksms account id in the user field? Please try it with the account name

I've tried with the Username I log in to BulkSMS with and the account ID. No luck with either of them.

Keep getting the same frustrating vanilla error message of Error sending "SMS": Number=241508, Message=Password is wrong.

That number is my group ID in Bulk SMS which contains 3 cell numbers.

Please double check that you are using the correct bulksms provider. Please make sure outgoing connections are allowed on port 5567.
