The MobileConnect instance that I work with, is based on a shared shortcode and then when we send texts out, we use a custom from name - and that is fine.
Whenever we send an sms, it comes through fine with the correct from name. On iPhone, when i click the name - everything is blank, and i cannot do anything. However, if I click on the "i" that takes me to the details page, the call icon - all of a sudden - i highlighted, and when I press it, it starts dialing a (to us) unknown number.
Shared shortcode: 1235 Number it calls: 25 62 72 63
Does anyone know how to disable this? (or at least, how to modify the number that it tries to call?)
Along the same lines:
I know we can customize the from name, but can we make it so that it appears that the sms comes from a particular number (e.g. the customer's account manager) and then make reply texts / clicks / calls on the custom sender, go directly to the account manager?
Finally, can we create a custom name e.g. from company, but then customize the number that can be called through it?
