Block or Text 5 Digit Numbers

I'd like to be able to block these type of numbers. We receive 1-2 SPAM messages a week from 5 digit numbers.Note: This conversation was created from a reply on: Unable to send SMS to a 5-digit number.

    I am experiencing this same issue, from the same number. I have tried to block it but it does not seem to work, presumably because its 5 digits and not a real phone number. This is gettin out of hand, we are having numberous spam texts like this come through daily.

    These 5 digit text messages are increasing in our company and it would be extremely helpful to get this feature added to block these.

    Would love the ability to block these. As someone else commented, these are very political and inflammatory.

    I have been waiting for this feature for sometime- please approve.


    We receive in 3-6 text messages a day from a 5 digit number that an ex-employee signed up for asking for funds for political campaigns. This is completely inappropriate for a private business to be receiving and we have no way to opt out.

    These are unsolicited and bothersome texts. Intended to lean political and create uncomfortable situations with our employees.

    This is a serious issue honestly. If a RingCentral number ever gets on a SMS list like this, there is absolutely no way to remove it. RingCentral support can't do it for you either. The system just thinks it's an extension because it's not in the E.164 format.

    Yes, this is a thing. There needs to be a way to block the short numbers.

Ability to reply to 5-digit SMS

Merged
Bulk text senders use a 5-digit number. Replies to these numbers (such as "STOP") fail. RC users need the ability to reply.

Option to send pictures to a five digit text number

Merged
It is not possible right now to send a photo to a five digit number, it must be a full number. This makes it very difficult when traveling
