Start Mobile has provided bulk SMS in Ukraine since 2007, along with voice broadcasts. Connect a number you have with Start Mobile to send and receive SMS with contacts in Ukraine.

Before you start

You'll need a number with Start Mobile, along with the username and password for your Start Mobile account. Start Mobile's SMS API documentation is only in Ukrainian, so you may want to use a translation tool, and its support page has its contact details.

Adding the channel

Go to Settings > Channels and click New Channel. Start Mobile is under SMS & Voice, or you can type its name in the search box. If your workspace's timezone isn't Europe/Kiev, check Show other regions to find it.

Then fill in the form:

Click Add Channel.

Finishing setup

Once the channel is added, its configuration page shows an inbound URL. Give it to Start Mobile, so that messages sent to your number reach your workspace.

You can come back to the inbound URL at any time from the channel's page.

Considerations

Messages are sent as plain text, and long messages are split into several. Any attachments are sent as links.
