Frequently Asked Questions

The plugin says sent but my WordPress SMS is not delivered. Why?

Usually the message text does not match the DLT template whose ID you entered in Registered DLT Template ID. Copy the approved template exactly into the message body, change only the variable parts, and check the Outbox and your SMSGatewayHub delivery report for the failure reason.

What should I enter as Approved Sender ID?

Enter the sender ID (header) approved on DLT and linked to your SMSGatewayHub account. It must belong to the same entity and category as the template you are sending, otherwise operators reject the message.

Where do I get the API key for the WordPress SMS plugin?

Log in to your SMSGatewayHub panel and copy your API key, then paste it into the API Key field on the SMS Gateway tab. If the Gateway Overview does not show Status Activated after saving, recheck the key for extra spaces.

How do I send Hindi or regional language SMS from WordPress?

Turn on Send as Unicode in the SMS Gateway tab and register the template in the same language on DLT. Unicode messages carry fewer characters per SMS part, so keep regional language notifications concise.

Can the plugin send SMS to many recipients at once?

Yes, Send Bulk SMS is supported for the SMSGatewayHub gateway. When there are more than 20 recipients, the plugin automatically switches to the Queued API Processing delivery method.

How can I get a demo of the WordPress SMS plugin?

Email support@smsgatewayhub.com to request a demo. You can also create a free SMSGatewayHub account to test the plugin on your own site before going live.

Create your SMSGatewayHub account, register your templates on DLT and connect the plugin in a few minutes.
