SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines bringing non-Sinch phone numbers into Sinch for SMS use by handling import, qualification, LOA workflows, text-enablement, and hosting order tracking so you avoid manual carrier coordination and repeated API discovery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Importing Numbers: Add single or small-batch numbers as DCA (direct customer agreement) and create hosting orders for multi-number imports.
  • Qualification & Verification: Submit numbers for eligibility checks, trigger voice challenges for ownership verification, and track qualification states.
  • Text-Enablement & LOA Management: Generate and send LOAs (direct, reseller, or blanket), submit text-enablement requests, and monitor asynchronous hosting order progress.
  • Monitoring & Callbacks: Poll hosting order status, retrieve per-number results and reports, and validate callback payloads using HMAC signing.
  • Use Case: Move a set of US phone numbers from a third-party provider into Sinch, qualify them, and bulk text-enable them while tracking LOA signatures and provisioning status.

Quick Start

Create a hosting order to import and text-enable +11234567890 for region US with the correct servicePlanId and a callbackUrl for order updates.

FAQPage Schema
How do I import and text-enable external phone numbers into Sinch?

To import and text-enable external phone numbers, you submit a hosting order with numbers formatted in E.164. This handles single imports or bulk orders of up to five numbers, including qualification checks, LOA workflows, and asynchronous status tracking.

Do I need E.164 formatting for bulk hosting orders?

Yes, E.164 formatting is required for bulk hosting orders. All US and CA numbers submitted for single imports or batches of five or fewer must be in E.164 format to successfully process text-enablement and hosting order requests.

How does the LOA workflow work for text-enablement?

The LOA workflow generates and sends Letters of Authorization using direct, reseller, or blanket variants to verify ownership. After tracking signatures, text-enablement requests are submitted and monitored asynchronously to complete SMS provisioning.

Can I use callback URLs to monitor hosting order status?

Yes, you can configure a callbackUrl to asynchronously monitor hosting order status and retrieve per-number results. Optional HMAC signature verification can be enabled to validate incoming callback payloads for secure provisioning updates.

What is the maximum batch size for importing non-Sinch numbers?

The maximum batch size for bulk hosting orders is five numbers or fewer per request. Single imports are also supported for US and CA numbers, with asynchronous status polling available to track qualification and text-enablement progress.

Does Sinch support toll-free text-enablement for imported numbers?

Yes, toll-free variants are supported for text-enablement of imported numbers. You can submit US and CA toll-free numbers through the hosting order workflow, including LOA management and asynchronous provisioning status monitoring.
