Messaging considerations will differ by geography and carrier, and need to be considered for where you are to utilize business messaging.  Following are some highlights specific to this country.

No additional restrictions other than the standard best practices denoted, however, this should be confirmed with country-specific regulatory bodies.

Considerations and Best Practices:  

  • Consent – Outbound messaging should only occur with prior opt-in consent from each message recipient (account owner) 
  • Keywords – Messaging for keywords HELP (support) and STOP (opt-out/unsubscribe) at low or no cost, and in recipients’ local language
  • Hours – Commercial SMS messages sent during a recipients’ daytime hours unless urgent
  • Registries – Should not be contacted if they are on the do-not-call or do-not-disturb registries

Salesforce recommends that customers familiarize themselves with the legislation of the target market to ensure compliance with all applicable laws.

The legal regulatory body governing telecommunication systems in this country may fall under Ofcom (OFCOM), Data Protection Act 1998 ('DPA'), Privacy, Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 ("PECR") and Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002 ("E-Commerce Regulations").  Failure to comply may result in actions taken by the governing body (e.g. warnings, fines and account suspension).
