SMS Code Provisioning Guidelines
Use a Honduras alphanumeric code for sending one-way marketing and transactional messages, both locally and internationally. Recipients can opt out via a link, preference center, or another channel. Local carriers must approve all alphanumeric code requests before you deploy SMS messages.
Alphanumeric codes can't be generic. They must be associated with a brand, enterprise, product, or service. These codes can only use alphanumeric characters and spaces, with a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 11 characters.
Restricted Content
You’re responsible for complying with local rules and regulations. To ensure compliance, familiarize yourself with the legislation of the local market. Honduras generally forbids content related, but not limited to, adult, politics, religious and gambling products and services.
Best Practices and Compliance References
Consider using different alphanumeric codes for marketing and transactional messaging. Telecommunications in Honduras are regulated by the Comisión Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (CONATEL).
