SMS Code Provisioning Guidelines
Use a Hungary two-way local long code for both marketing and transactional sends. A local shared short code replaces messages sent with alphanumeric characters or international long codes.
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. Hungary generally forbids content related, but not limited to, adult and gambling products and services.
Best Practices and Compliance References
Consider using different alphanumeric codes for marketing and transactional messaging. Telecommunications in Hungary are regulated by National Media and Infocommunications Authority (NMHH).
