Programmable SMS Geo Permissions - United Kingdom Prefix Update

Twilio is making changes to SMS Geo-Permissions in the Twilio Console to better differentiate traffic being sent to the United Kingdom to better protect our customers from SMS Pumping. The United Kingdom will be broken out into four territories: Guernsey, Isle of Man, Jersey, and the United Kingdom which was previously solely under the United Kingdom (+44) prefix. If you enabled SMS Geo-Permissions for the United Kingdom(+44)  and had past activity within the following prefixes: Guernsey (+44778, +44783), Isle of Man (+447624, +44745), and/or Jersey (+4477003, +4478299), we have enabled your SMS Geo-Permissions in the newly created territory within the United Kingdom.


If needed, you can enable or disable SMS Geo Permissions to any country at any time in Twilio Console by following the steps in this Support Article.
