Limited SMS Notification Support in Some Regions

Learn about limits to SMS notification support in some regions and alternative notification options.

Blackline Safety is committed to providing reliable notifications to help you monitor devices and respond to critical events. However, due to evolving regulatory requirements and carrier restrictions in certain regions, we cannot guarantee SMS notification delivery in the countries listed below:

  • Singapore
  • Saudi Arabia
  • Vietnam
  • Thailand
  • Philippines
  • Taiwan
  • Germany

If your notification profiles are configured to send SMS notifications for high-urgency and operational notifications, those notifications will not be delivered. Because these delivery failures originate from external carrier or regulatory constraints, we are unable to investigate or troubleshoot undelivered SMS notifications in these regions.

Alternate Notification Options

To ensure that your messages are delivered in these countries, enable one of the following notification alternatives in Blackline Live:

  • Email Notifications

    Email notifications are supported globally and provide a reliable alternative to SMS messages. You can enable email notifications in your existing notification profiles for alerts and device operational events. Visit the Alerts Profiles page and edit the profiles on the Alert Management tab and the Notifications tab.

  • Live Alerts in Blackline Live

    You can view alerts in real time in Blackline Live, giving you immediate access to critical event information without having to rely on SMS messages. Alerts appear as a banner on the maps page. Click the banner to learn more about the alert.

  • Review your current notification profiles and identify any that are configured for SMS notifications in the affected countries.

  • Update those profiles to use email notifications or use Live Alerts in Blackline Live.

What's Next

We will continue to work closely with our SMS delivery vendors and monitor regulatory developments in the affected regions. We are actively exploring alternative solutions to restore SMS functionality where possible and will provide updates as new information becomes available.
