Here are some common use cases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Operator Blocks Specific Numbers<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If an operator (e.g., Operator A) blocks a specific phone number (e.g., <code>9199999xxxxx<\/code>) but another operator (e.g., Operator B) allows it, you can use a Phone Routing Rule to redirect messages for that number to Operator B.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Example: Operator A blocks <code>9199999xxxxx<\/code> due to DND settings, but Operator B supports delivery to DND numbers. Set Operator A as the <em>Origin Vendor<\/em> and Operator B as the <em>New Vendor<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Optimizing Delivery Rates<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If one vendor has better delivery success rates for a specific phone number or region, you can route messages to that vendor to improve reliability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Example: Operator B has a 98% delivery rate for numbers in India, while Operator A has only 85%. Route Indian numbers like <code>9199999xxxxx<\/code> to Operator B for better performance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>User-Specific Routing Needs<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Apply rules to a specific user if their messaging campaigns require unique routing logic, while leaving other users unaffected.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Example: A user sending promotional messages to <code>9199999xxxxx<\/code> needs to use Operator B due to compliance requirements; set the rule for that user only.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Best Practices<\/strong>:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Monitor delivery reports in your <strong>SMPPCenter<\/strong> dashboard to identify numbers frequently blocked by certain operators, then create rules to redirect those messages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regularly review and update your Phone Routing Rules to adapt to changing operator policies or delivery performance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/smppcenter.com\/kb\/category\/smpp-client\/rules\/phone-routing-rules\/\">Phone Routing Rules<\/a><\/strong> ensure your messages reach their destination, even in challenging scenarios.
