Connecting an ArabiaCell Channel
ArabiaCell is a Jordanian provider of SMS and mobile content services. Connect a short code you have with ArabiaCell, with messages either free or billed to contacts, to send and receive SMS with your contacts.
Before you start
You'll need a short code from ArabiaCell, along with the service ID, username and password it gives you for that short code. ArabiaCell doesn't publish these online, so ask your ArabiaCell contact for them, and whether messages on your short code are free or billed to contacts.
Adding the channel
Go to Settings > Channels and click New Channel. ArabiaCell is under SMS & Voice, or you can type its name in the search box. If your workspace's timezone isn't Asia/Amman, check Show other regions to find it.
Then fill in the form:
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Country | The country your short code is in |
| Short Code | Your ArabiaCell short code |
| Service ID | The service ID ArabiaCell gave you |
| Charging Level | Free, or Billed if contacts are charged for the messages they're sent |
| Username | Your ArabiaCell username |
| Password | Your ArabiaCell password |
Click Add Channel.
Finishing setup
Once the channel is added, its configuration page shows a receive URL. Give it to ArabiaCell, so that messages sent to your short code reach your workspace.
You can come back to these at any time from the channel's page.
Considerations
Messages are sent as plain text, and any attachments are sent as links.
