Are there any restrictions for using SMS and MMS messages?
Zendesk Talk offers functionality that enables customers to communicate with End-Users over text. This texting occurs over SMS and MMS technology powered by Zendesk’s third party telephony service provider, Twilio.
Due to phone carrier restrictions on the use of SMS and MMS, Twilio prohibits certain use cases and content on SMS and MMS. A list of the prohibited activities and content can be found here:https://support.twilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045004974-Forbidden-message-categories-for-Toll-Free-SMS-and-MMS-in-the-US-and-Canada(“SMS Policy”). Further, use of the texting functionality is subject to Twilio’s generalAcceptable Use PolicyandMessaging Policy(collectively, the “Twilio Terms”).
Should Twilio report to Zendesk that a Zendesk Talk customer is allegedly violating the restrictions in the SMS Policy or Twilio Terms, Zendesk will reach out to such customers to cease the offending activity. If the customer is unable to cease such activity, Zendesk may have to restrict the offending activity on the account. This may include removing SMS functionality for the account.
Currently, you can't send outbound SMS messages to Russian phone numbers.
If you have any questions, please reach out to your account manager or support@zendesk.com.

Hi, it seems that Talk isn't available still for India, I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for the following situation- wanting to connect a mobile number to ZD primarily so that what's app messages will be accessible by all agents and handled as tickets but also to have a central contact phone number for people to call. We have agents in Australia and India so not sure if there is a good third party app anyone has experience with in this situation? Thankyou!!
