Status and maintenance updates for the TextAnywhere platform.
We are currently experiencing some temporary technical issues which may be affecting some of our customers’ ability to send or receive messages; in some cases this may also include gaining access to any of our services.
We’re sorry that this is happening. Thank you for your continued patience and support while we work to resolve this.
Please direct any queries to our support team at customercare@textanywhere.net
To keep your data safe we employ a number of different methods, 2 of these are our PCI compliance and the use of HTTPS at the start of our web address.
Due to changes in the way data is secured over HTTPS and in line with our PCI compliance come June 2018 we will be making a change to only support TLS (Transport Layer Security) 1.1 or higher. More information can be found on this at the link below:
https://blog.pcisecuritystandards.org/are-you-ready-for-30-june-2018-sayin-goodbye-to-ssl-early-tls
If you are using one of the modern browsers on a modern operating system this shouldn’t affect you, you can check to see which version of TLS your browser supports by visiting the below link:
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewMyClient.html
The first box on this page is enough to confirm if you can connect via TLS 1.1 or higher, such as the image shows below.
If this shows anything other than TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3 then you will need to change the settings in your current browser, update your browser or install a new one and then repeat this process to confirm you’ll still be able to access our site and many others.
This change also applies to our TextGateway Web/HTTP(S) services so please ensure any environments that are accessing these services via HTTPS are able to do so using TLS 1.1 or above.
After June this year if you are not able to connect/use TLS 1.1 or higher you will no longer be able to access the TextAnywhere service.
If you need any help with the above we suggest you contact your IT department or an IT professional.

SRCL is in the process of streamlining banking operations and as a consequence TextAnywhere, a wholly owned subsidiary of SRCL, will be changing bank account from February the 1st 2018.
Please amend your records to ensure all future BACS payments are credited to our new account as follows:-
| New Details | Old Details | |

| IBAN | GB93MIDL40025071425838 | GB22 BARC 2071 1450 0280 53 |
| A/C Name | TextAnywhere | TextAnywhere |
Any payments currently in your systems can be paid to Barclays but please make all subsequent payments to our new HSBC account.
You can continue to purchase products online through our secure portal as usual.
Should you have any queries or require any further clarification on this change, please do not hesitate to contact me at drichardson@srcl.com or by telephone 0333 240 4426.
