Questions & Answers
Why would I want to deactivate my SMS campaign?
You would only need to deactivate your currently-registered and active SMS campaign if you no longer need or want your users to have the ability to send or receive SMS/MMS messages from 8x8 Work apps.
What will happen if I deactivate my SMS campaign?
Deactivating your SMS campaign will result in ALL of your 8x8 Work users losing their ability to send or receive SMS or MMS messages.
Is deactivating my campaign the same as deactivating a user's SMS?
No.
You can deactivate SMS ability for one or more specific 8x8 Work users without deactivating your entire SMS campaign.
When you deactivate your SMS campaign, you are effectively deleting your verified campaign registration data and disabling SMS for ALL 8x8 Work users.
How do I deactivate my SMS Campaign?

Will I receive a refund of registration fees if I deactivate my campaign?
Campaign registration fees are collected by The Campaign Registry and are not refundable. For more information, see SMS Campaign Registration and Impact.
If I deactivate my SMS campaign, will my info remain in the registration form?
When your SMS campaign is deactivated, the information in the SMS > Your Campaign area will be deleted.

Can I re-register my campaign again if I need SMS in the future?
Yes, you can re-register your SMS campaign at any time.
