Unfortunately, not all networks can automatically activate numbers when we push them for datafill. The API below describes how to announce to those networks that you wish to use a number with our sms relay service.
Our Number Activation API -
http://gw1.aql.com/sms/activate_relay.php
expects HTTP POST/GET of:
| Variable name | Description |
| username | Your aql username |
| password | Your aql password |
| phone_number | Full Geographic number(s) you wish to assign |
Returned is a string consisting of (without leading and trailing quote): "<status no>:<description>" - eg: 1: Authentication Error
The status corresponds to one of the following
0: Successful
For example:
0: Successful
441133203040: Accepted
441133204060: Request rejected (Number not owned by this account)
4411332030040: Invalid number
1: Authentication Error
3: Absent Parameters
Notes:
Numbers can be comma separated - eg 441133203040,441133204060,4411332030040
The numbers entered must be the full geographic number and not an area code or number range
Numbers can be accepted in any format - eg 441133203040,0113 3204060,(0113) 32030040
The networks can only accept a limited number of requests per day. Each user is restricted to 25% of the currently remaining quota.
If a request is unsuccessful, or your number has not been activated by a particular network, please resubmit this on a different day and this will be resubmitted to the networks.
