Overview

New Spanish regulations have been announced for consumer protection measures to combat identity theft scams through fraudulent SMS.

 

  • All alphanumeric Sender IDs (the business name shown at the top of an SMS/MMS/RCS message) used to send messages to Spanish mobile numbers must be pre-registered in the official Alias Registry managed by CNMC. 
  • Due to new regulatory requirements, we strongly recommend that all Sender IDs are registered.  Any Sender ID that is not registered may be replaced with an alphanumeric Sender ID to ensure uninterrupted message delivery.
