Use-Case & Content Guidelines

Virtual Numbers

The ACM (Consumer and Markets Regulator) has decided that 06xxx numbers in the Netherlands must be attached to a mobile device. They do not consider tablets to be mobile devices. They expect A2P type of use cases to be using the 097xx number range, which was created for M2M.

Vonage has offered 06 numbers previously, however, there is a risk that the service could be discontinued for those with numbers that are not attached to Mobile devices. There is also a risk that the regulator will ask our carriers to stop offering the service for both voice and SMS.
Marketing Traffic Before sending any marketing traffic, opt-in consent is required from handset users.
