To switch from another vendor to Smarsh, follow the below steps:
- Remove all Verizon numbers from the existing Verizon Archiving Accounts.
- Ask the current vendor to remove all Verizon archiving accounts.
Note: This can only be done after removing all associated numbers. - Inform Smarsh after the Verizon numbers and accounts are removed.
- Smarsh requests Verizon to remove customer’s ECPD from the archiving platform.
- Verizon removes customer’s ECPD and notifies Smarsh.
- Smarsh sets up your archiving accounts.
- Opt-in messages are sent to the onboarded numbers from Verizon.
- End-users agree to opt-in, and the archiving service begins.
Note: Any messages exchanged over the Verizon numbers during this process will not be archived. Verizon recommends that you block messaging on the numbers until they are re-onboarded to avoid data loss.
