Use-Case & Content Guidelines

Marketing Traffic

Russia is an extremely large SMS market and filters are in place, in many cases even legitimate A2P traffic is blocked and so cheap signaling or roaming links do not deliver well and using a direct connection is imperative.

Before sending any marketing traffic, opt-in consent is required from handset users.

 

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.
