SMPPCenter’s SMPP software allows you to modify mobile numbers in messages using normalization rules, such as adding country codes or reformatting numbers. Here’s how to set it up:

Steps to Modify Mobile Numbers:

• Log In: Access your admin account.
• Navigate to Normalization Rules: Go to Sidebar -> SMPP Client -> Rules -> Normalization Rules.
• Add a New Rule: Click Add to open the modal form.
• Configure Mobile Number Rules: In the Mobile Number Rules section:
  • Origin Mobile No.: Enter the mobile number to apply the rule to (e.g., “9876543210”).
  • Mobile Number Rule: Choose a condition:
    • EQUALS: Matches the exact mobile number.
    • STARTS WITH: Matches mobile numbers starting with the text (e.g., “98”).
  • New Mobile No.: Enter the new mobile number or modification (e.g., “+919876543210”).
  • Mobile Number Action: Select an action:
    • NO CHANGE: Keep the mobile number as is.
    • REPLACE: Replace with the New Mobile No. (e.g., “+919876543210”).
    • APPEND PREFIX: Add a prefix (e.g., “+91” to “9876543210” becomes “+919876543210”).
    • APPEND SUFFIX: Add a suffix (e.g., “123” to “9876543210” becomes “9876543210123”).
    • REMOVE PREFIX: Remove a matching prefix (e.g., remove “+91” from “+919876543210”).
    • REMOVE SUFFIX: Remove a matching suffix (e.g., remove “123” from “9876543210123”).
• Save the Rule: Set the Status to Enabled and click Save.

Example:

• Origin Mobile No.: “9876543210”
• Mobile Number Rule: STARTS WITH
• New Mobile No.: “91”
• Mobile Number Action: APPEND PREFIX
• Result: Numbers starting with “9876543210” become “919876543210”.

Best Practices

• Use APPEND PREFIX to add country codes for international messaging (e.g., “+91” for India).
• Test the rule to ensure modified numbers are valid and accepted by operators.
