Use-Case & Content Guidelines
| Marketing Traffic |
*Sender ID Pre-registration is mandatory. Marketing traffic is allowed but your registered sender ID must have the suffix -AD at the end, and is included as part of the maximum 11 digit length allowed (e.g. Vonage-AD). If you are sending non-marketing traffic as well, you will need to register 2 sender IDs (one for marketing and one for non-marketing).
Additionally, marketing traffic must only be sent between the hours of 8am to 10pm local time (UTC +3).
Before sending any marketing traffic, opt-in consent is required from handset users. |
| URL content | Any URL included in messages must also be registered along with sender ID registration. If additional URLs are required in future, these may also need separate registration. |
Additional Information
P2P traffic is prohibited.
No political, religious, unsolicited promotion, or gambling content.
There are no additional content restrictions beyond those in our Acceptable Use Policy.
