What are carrier account settings?

This page explains how to to view your organisation’s carrier service groups via the Carrier Account Settings page.

Within the Sorted platform, carrier account settings determine how Sorted must communicate with a carrier service or services on behalf of a customer. For example, a collection of carrier account settings could include:

  • Credentials.
  • Endpoint details (e.g. a carrier’s production API endpoints).
  • Account numbers.
  • Specific details relating to the way in which the customer uses the carrier service.

Each collection of settings is saved within the system as a carrier account settings file.
