This guide will walk you through the process of enabling international SMS from your CallHippo dashboard, ensuring seamless communication beyond borders.
Steps to enable international SMS:

2. Click on the settings option visible on the top of the screen.
3. Scroll down and click on the “international SMS” option on the left side of the screen.

Why do I need to enable international SMS separately?
International SMS is not enabled by default due to telecom regulations, potential misuse, and cost control. Enabling it manually helps prevent unauthorized usage, ensures compliance with country-specific messaging laws, and gives account admins better control over billing and communication settings.
CallHippo allows this feature to be activated only via dashboard settings, ensuring it’s used intentionally and securely.
