How can I troubleshoot a Phone Routing Rule that isn’t working correctly in SMPPCenter’s SMPP Software?

If a Phone Routing Rule isn’t redirecting messages as expected, follow these troubleshooting steps to identify and resolve the issue:

Verify Rule Configuration:

  • Ensure the Mobile No. includes the correct country code (e.g., 9199999xxxxx) and matches the format used in your messages.
  • Confirm that the Origin Vendor and New Vendor are correctly selected.
  • Check that the UserName setting (Any or specific user) matches the user sending the message.

Check Rule Status:

  • Verify that the Active box is checked; if unchecked, the rule will not be applied.

Review Message Logs and Delivery Reports:

  • Go to Message Logs and Delivery Reports in the SMPPCenter dashboard to see which vendor handled the message.
  • If the message was sent via the Origin Vendor instead of the New Vendor, the rule may not have been triggered.

Test with a Sample Message:

  • Send a test message to the specified phone number using the Origin Vendor and confirm whether it’s routed to the New Vendor.
  • Example: On May 21, 2025, at 08:43 PM IST, send a test message to 9199999xxxxx via Operator A to see if it routes to Operator B.

Check for Conflicting Rules:

  • If multiple Phone Routing Rules target the same phone number, the system applies the first matching rule. Review other rules to ensure there’s no conflict.
