# 21666: 'FallbackFrom' requires MessagingServiceSid

Log Type: APPLICATION

Log Level: ERROR

## Description

When you use `FallbackFrom`, also provide `MessagingServiceSid`. `FallbackFrom` sets the SMS or MMS sender Twilio uses if an RCS message can't be delivered over RCS. This parameter works only with a Messaging Service.

### Possible causes

* Your request included `FallbackFrom` but didn't include `MessagingServiceSid`.
* Your request used `FallbackFrom` with `From` instead of sending through a Messaging Service.
* Your application attempted to set an RCS fallback sender without routing the message through a Messaging Service.

### Possible solutions

* Add `MessagingServiceSid` to the request when you use `FallbackFrom`.
* Send the message through a Messaging Service that you use for RCS messaging.
* If you don't need RCS fallback, remove `FallbackFrom` and send with `From` or `MessagingServiceSid` alone.
* Verify that the fallback sender you specify in `FallbackFrom` is an SMS- or MMS-capable sender that belongs to the same Account SID.
