Anyone can text your SMSEagle unless you say otherwise. Allow/Deny List puts you in control of exactly who gets through, in either direction.
The Allow list makes SMSEagle carry out commands only from numbers you have approved.
In Allow mode SMSEagle sends messages only to approved numbers, so a mistake like that never leaves the company.
Only Allow or Deny is active for the whole device at once, so there’s never a conflict between overlapping rules.
The same list controls who can text in and who SMSEagle can text out, so your rules stay consistent in both directions.
Add the start of a number with an asterisk, like +4420*, and the list covers every number with that prefix, such as a whole country.
Set the rule for the whole device
Only one mode is active at a time, so the behavior for the whole device is always clear and predictable.
Add hundreds of numbers in seconds
Skip manual entry entirely, upload a CSV to populate the Allow or Deny list in bulk.
Let people opt out
When someone replies with a set word, such as STOP, their number goes on the Deny list automatically and gets no more messages.
SMSEagle hardware SMS gateway
SMSEagle combines hardware and software into a single, self-contained gateway. It is designed for critical environments, so security is built in from the ground up, confirmed by CE, FCC, ISED, UKCA, PTCRB, RCM, IMDA, TDRA, CB Scheme, GCF, carrier certifications (Verizon, AT&T) and ISO 27001.
Choose one of three modes: Allow selected permits only numbers on your list and blocks everything else; Deny selected blocks only numbers on your list and permits everything else; Disabled turns filtering off entirely while keeping both lists for later use.
Yes. A number with an asterisk at the end, like +4420*, covers every number with that prefix, such as a whole country.
Yes. The same list restricts both incoming SMS and the numbers SMSEagle can send to.
Yes. Import numbers in bulk from a CSV file.
Yes. Set a word, such as STOP, that automatically adds the sender’s number to the Deny list. Choose the equals match rather than contains, so a number is added only when the message is exactly that word, not whenever the word appears in a text.
Allow/Deny List is a built-in feature available on all current SMSEagle hardware SMS gateways.
