Update timeline

  1. investigating Sep 26, 2024, 02:27 PM UTC

    Vonage is experiencing a rise in fraud messaging from other users. As a result, they are blocking any message that contains a URL. Messages sent with a URL will return with a delivery error. If you need to send URLs and are using Vonage/Nexmo, message the Textline team as there is a possibility to whitelist your URLs.

  2. investigating Sep 26, 2024, 02:44 PM UTC

    We are continuing to investigate this issue.

  3. resolved Oct 07, 2024, 01:35 PM UTC

    Vonage has removed the URL block on outbound SMS.
