Support covering your use of the SSG platform is provided by email, telephone and chat. We aim to respond within 4-hours of receipt for non-critical issues and within 30-minutes of receipt for critical issues.

We will act on valid support requests submitted by customers during normal UK office hours within 60 minutes of receiving such requests. Support requests submitted by the customer outside of normal UK office hours will be acted on as through they had been received at 0900 UK local time on the next working day.

The SSG platform is monitored 24x7 and we will respond to critical issues at any time when they are identified by our monitoring. Incoming support emails are also monitored outside of normal support hours.

Our standard support service included as part of the SSG Contract is to help you make use of your SSG instance and the proper operation of the overall SSG platform. Our standard support service does not include us configuring or otherwise operating your SSG instance.

Support services beyond our standard support service can be arranged and additional charges apply (see SMPP SMS Gateway - Professional Services).
