Hi! You need to enable MSISDN integration with Twilio, which is a problem I ran into previously and documented. It's super cheap but if you don't do it, it won't let you use MSISDNs. Which makes sense, really.
Thank you for your answer @ctwelve! Is there a way to set it up with my custom build SMS sending service alternativ to Twilio? I don't like giving all the phone numbers to an external service like Twilio
Not that I know of, no. There is an SMS bridge but it requires hardware access to a phone. And, honestly, access to the PSTN is gatekeeper'd pretty heavily, by design and frankly good sense. Twilio is the cheapest way to do it I've seen. For my volume, it's basically a dollar a month.
It should also be noted that Twilio is not merely emailing out SMS via email gateways. They're transmitting real SMS/MMS/EMS directly on the phone network, and can do things like identity verification and the like. Sending via Twilio is a much, much stronger assertion that the message is genuinely going to the endpoint number you specify.
Thank you for this amazing playbook!
I wanted to ask how I could make the phone number (msisdn) required at the registration?
I added this to the my custom vars.yml:
After running
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
I get following error when I try to register as a new user:I found the option
matrix_synapse_account_threepid_delegates_msisdn
. Is this the reason the registration failed? How do I create an identity server? I have an API access to Twilio and knowledge in PHP. I could create an URL that receives the parameters from synapse, send the SMS with a token. Is this what is required?Could you please provide an example of how to use this parameter und how to create a working identity server? Any help is appreciated!
