Incident Report

Summary AI Generated

Vonage API experienced a 37.6-hour SMS service degradation caused by a data center connectivity loss at a third-party provider, affecting SMS API, Messages API, Verify, and Verify V2 services globally. The incident resulted in SMS delivery delays and failures, with queued messages during the outage being dropped and not processed. The majority of services were restored through traffic rerouting and infrastructure migration to alternative environments, though some customers experienced lingering effects during the recovery period.

We are aware of issues that may be impacting your Verify API V2 SMS channel. Our engineers are working to quickly resolve the issue. We’ll provide further updates within 90 minutes. Thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have any questions, please contact api.support.vonage.com

We continue to monitor the ongoing service interruption reported by our third-party provider, which has impacted your SMS API, Messages API (SMS channel), Verify (SMS channel), and Verify V2 (SMS channel).

An incident at one of our provider's data centers caused a loss of connectivity to all partner-hosted infrastructure at that site. This triggered an incident with broad impact across SMS-dependent services globally.

We are actively progressing the migration of the affected infrastructure to an alternative environment. As a result of the mitigations applied so far, the majority of impacted traffic has been restored

Please be aware that any messages that were queued during this incident will not be processed and should be considered dropped.

We will provide an update within the next 4 hours.
