SMS Laws And Regulations (By Country)

Navigating the evolving landscape of business-to-customer messaging requires staying informed about international messaging regulations, and SMSPapa.com understands this need. Many countries are implementing stricter rules for sending messages, and failing to comply can lead to undelivered messages and potential penalties.

To ensure your messages reach their intended recipients, it’s crucial to familiarize yourself with the specific regulations of each country you’re targeting. These regulations often address:

  • Delivery Time Restrictions: Many countries enforce specific hours during which businesses can send messages to avoid inconveniencing recipients.
  • Content Guidelines: Offensive language, unsolicited marketing content, and certain industries may face restrictions on the type of messages they can send.
  • Sender ID Requirements: Carriers in some countries block messages originating from unrecognized or unsupported phone number formats. To maximize deliverability, SMSPapa.com may need to adjust the sender ID to comply with local carrier requirements.
