SMS Code Provisioning Guidelines
Use a custom alphanumeric code with an international long code set up for one-way sending. Manage opt-outs with a web link or customer preference center. Alphanumeric codes must be associated with the brand, enterprise, product, or service. These codes can include only alphanumeric characters or spaces.
Restricted Content
You’re responsible for complying with local rules and regulations. To ensure compliance, familiarize yourself with the legislation of the local market. Failure to comply can result in service suspension, cancellation, and potential fines.
Best Practices and Compliance References
Telecommunications in Belarus are regulated by Ministry of Communications and Informatization of the Republic of Belarus (MoCI). Consider using separate alphanumerical codes for marketing and transactional sends.
