SMS Gateway

The SMS gateway helps users receive SMS messages and verification codes, giving them the choice between a built-in gateway or a custom gateway.

When users purchase and create OneAccess instances, the SMS message limit is automatically set. By default, users can send up to 1,000 SMS messages per month for free cost. If more SMS messages are required, users can adjust the SMS gateway settings or contact technical support to increase the limit.

• Built-in gateway
  • The built-in gateway helps users obtain SMS messages and verification codes. On the SMS Gateway page, select Built-in gateway, and view the total and used SMS messages.
  • Check out the preset templates for different scenarios. In each situation, users will receive the preset SMS message or verification code.
  • To test the SMS message template for a specific scenario, click Test in the Operation column, specify a user, and click Test. Then check whether the user can receive the SMS message or verification code.
• Custom gateway

  Register an account at the SMS service provider in advance and configure the gateway parameters in OneAccess. According to national message regulations, message template IDs and codes can be used only after the templates have been registered with and approved by the SMS service provider.

  Supported SMS service providers include Huawei Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, and Horiz. Huawei Cloud is used for illustration.
