OVHcloud bulk SMS setup for Ultra SMS

Steps

1. Open the OVHcloud token page and create a token with the rights it pre-fills.
2. Copy the Application Key, Application Secret and Consumer Key.
3. Note your SMS account name, for example sms-xx000000-1.
4. In Ultra SMS open the Gateways tab, click Add gateway, choose OVHcloud SMS, and paste the three keys and the account name. Click Test credentials (it sends nothing).
5. Send a test message to your own phone before you start a campaign.

Good to know

• OVHcloud offers SMS in France, the UK, Ireland, Spain, Italy and Poland (EU host). The guide this connection follows sends with the reply short number, which it documents for French accounts.
• Advertising is allowed only 08:00 to 20:00, Monday to Saturday.
• This gateway has no delivery look-up in Ultra SMS, so its messages show as Sent, not Delivered. Check the gateway's own dashboard or reports for final delivery.

Before you send through OVHcloud SMS

OVHcloud SMS charges per message segment at its own rates, which depend on the destination country. Check that your sender is allowed in each country you text. Business traffic to the USA normally needs A2P 10DLC registration or a verified toll-free number, and India needs DLT registration. Use Test credentials first, then send one real test to your own phone.

Dashboards change their menus from time to time; if a label differs, look for the API keys or developer section. Stuck? See the Ultra SMS troubleshooting table, the Ultra SMS user guide, or contact us.
