Assigning an SMS Number to Services
You can assign an SMS number to specific services so that only the assigned SMS number is available to the agents logged in to those services when the agents send an SMS message (transactional).
When an agent responds to an SMS, by default, the SMS number used in the response is the same as that associated with the original SMS thread; the agent cannot modify that SMS number.
To assign an SMS number to services:
On the Configure tab of LVP, click SMS > SMS Channel. The SMS Channel window appears.
On the Codes tab, double-click the row displaying the SMS number that you want to assign to services. The SMS Channel pop-up window for the selected number appears.
In the Available section, select the services to which you want to assign the number.
You can select all services together by clicking Assign All in the Available section.
The selected services appear in the Assigned section.
Click Save. The SMS number is assigned to the selected services.
