Clickatell has managed to reactivate a significant number of our customers on the US shared short code program and we are nearing the end of the process. We are not reactivating connectivity to Sprint Nextel & Boost on the shared short code program, as they no longer support connectivity for these programs.
We have not forgotten about you. We are very aware that we have not yet provided some of our customers with the details of exactly how we will manage the connectivity of their specific message service type on our shared short code program going forward. We assure these customers that they are at the very top of our list of priorities and that they will have the answers that they need very shortly.
We have almost finished with this process, thank you for your continued patience.

Clickatell has restored connectivity to Sprint Nextel for all dedicated US short code customers. All services are therefore restored for customers using dedicated short codes.
We will continue to restore connectivity to our US shared short code customers on a service by service basis (Alerts, Voting, Couponing, etc.). The reactivation process is taking longer than what we expected due to the additional scrutiny we have had to introduce to ensure customer compliance and adherence to our terms and conditions and accepted industry guidelines, before we’re able to restore services.
If your service is not restored yet, rest assured that we will contact you with more details on our soon to be implemented reactivation process for remaining US shared short code customers. We are unable to assist with prioritizing requests for reactivation, so please be patient while we focus our attention on reactivating our US customers that are still affected.
Further information is available on our FAQ, or please refer to our forum threads addressing the top issues you have raised.

Clickatell is gradually restoring connectivity to our US shared short code customers. We will not restore shared short code connectivity to Sprint Nextel & Boost, since their policy no longer supports the use of shared short codes.
The reactivation process, for our shared short code customers, is taking longer than what we would like, because we are required to audit customer account adherence to our terms and conditions and accepted industry guidelines, before we’re able to restore services.
If your service is not restored by the end of the week, then we will contact you with more details of our reactivation process for the remaining US shared short code customers still affected, so that your service can be restored. We are unable to assist with prioritizing requests for reactivation, so please be patient while we focus our attention on reactivating our US customers that are still affected.

Clickatell is making considerable progress in restoring connectivity to our dedicated short code customers on the Sprint Nextel & Boost networks.
The reactivation process is taking longer for our shared short code customers, because we are required to audit customer account adherence to our terms and conditions and accepted industry guidelines. We’re also classifying accounts into message service types for reactivation, which is designed to ensure that future service interruptions are minimized for all our customers; this process is time consuming, but in the best interest of guaranteeing an ongoing service to you.
We’d like to remind you that service to Sprint Nextel & Boost will not be enabled due to policy decisions by the network.
If we have not yet contacted you to restore your service to the other carrier networks, please be assured that will communicate with you in the next few days on the process you will need to follow and information that you will be required to disclose in order for us to fast track the reactivation of your service.
We’d like to remind that you may only use the Clickatell messaging platform to send message content that is in line with the Mobile Marketing Association US consumer guidelines and our own terms and conditions.

We are receiving more information from US carriers about the future and requirements of shared shortcodes, not only with us, for the industry.
As soon as we’re authorized to resume the shared shortcode service, we will contact our shared short code customers and assist them through the process of reactivating their service, while ensuring they comply fully with MMA guidelines and our terms and conditions.

The connectivity of our US customers on dedicated shortcodes has been restored, except with Sprint Nextel & Boost. We will continue with our efforts to restore services fully and will advise as soon as this becomes possible again.
US customers that have been using shared shortcode services continue to be impacted by a lack of connectivity for their shortcodes.
The nature of the shared shortcode service is such that the recent abuse of our messaging platform, by a handful of rogue customers making use of shared shortcodes, has led to these shortcodes being shut down for delivery to US carriers. All US customers that were using these shortcodes that were shut down, have thus experienced a service disruption.
We are in the process of going through a number of steps to ensure that when we restore the shared shortcode service, that abusive customers will be screened or detected immediately and that the current US customer impact will not be repeated.
We thank you for your patience while we restore the same high quality of service to all of our US customers.
We will provide additional information on progress in this matter as it becomes available. For any further information at this time, please read our FAQ on this matter, or read our forum threads on the top issues that you have raised.

We again apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused you and your customers. We continue to work diligently to restore connectivity to all of our US customers, this is our highest priority. We will provide additional information on progress in this matter as it becomes available.
01 March 2010
Clickatell has strict guidelines regarding use of our mobile messaging platform that is consistent with MMA guidelines. Unfortunately a customer violated these guidelines and our Terms of Service (TOS); this created a cascading series of events which resulted in a connectivity disruption for a number of our US customers.
This problem has been excised from the system and we are working diligently to restore service to our US customers. Again we are aware of the difficulty that this incident has caused many of our customers. We apologize and look to restoring our quality service as quickly as we can.
26 February 2010
We are experiencing significant connectivity problems resulting in non-delivery of messages to U.S. destinations. We do not currently have an ETA for resolution. We will issue a more formal statement soon.
