Ireland Phone Numbers

We need to get phone numbers sorted for Ireland ASAP. I've been with GHL now for 2.5 years playing the waiting game and relying on Twilio does not cut it I'm afraid.

Really need a workaround, is there any way we can get SMS to work for clients based in Ireland?

Adam Goodwin unfortunately not

Kevin Boyle have you tried to use whatsapp integrated at all?
K
Kevin Boyle
Adam Goodwin I have. It'd good but I'm a bit uncertain about how much it will cost using whatsapp for marketing. As in, GHL charges by characters used in WhatsApp, I think. Need to look into it more.

Adam Goodwin
Kevin Boyle Right okay so whatsapp does work? Was it through a 'Local' number you bought on GHL? Or a UK number?
K
Kevin Boyle
Adam Goodwin yeah, had to buy a UK number via GHL. Not ideal
A
Adam Goodwin
Kevin Boyle Yeah not ideal but it is a way i guess - i'm going to continue looking for some softwares that can do this - if i find any I'll let you know

Kevin Boyle

Just come across this post, i was hoping to get SMS enabled number for Ireland, very disported with this. I hope they sorted this soon.

Ireland Toll-free number

It'd be great to have a toll-free number for Ireland and not go through Private Offering and pay a monthly fee.

This needs to be done. For over a year now I have been forced to use a SMS only Phone number. This means customers cannot call the number back. How can we make this happen? I've been through support many times and just got given the answer "Irish Numbers do not have them capability's availible"

Ruairi Mcmahon What number did you use for SMS capabilities in Ireland?
R
Ruairi Mcmahon
Hugo Bruce 086 mobile SMS only numbers

Hugo Bruce
Ruairi Mcmahon Thanks - Can you get the 086 no.'s directly from HighLevel, when I try to filter Irish SMS I get no data, or are you requesting reg bundle, importing for another service, connecting to Zapier...?

Kevin Boyle
Hugo Bruce Same. Can I ask if anyone managed to get an irish number capable of SMS with GHL?
A
Adam Goodwin
Kevin Boyle I'm in the same boat, did you manage to find a way?

Ruairi Mcmahon how did you go about setting up a sms only phone number?

GHL becomes almost useless without a phone number in Ireland. I was able to purchase a mobile number once in the last 3 months and I thought I would be able to get it whenever I want. How wrong I was... Please get more mobile numbers with SMS and Calling capabilities!

Simo Saad
Gabor Szabo I agree, please have a look at this idea it can help

Leon Kennedy
100% agreed, can't even get SMS-capable numbers in Ireland. TERRIBLE FOR BUSINESS!
