Promotional Bulk SMS Service

What is Promotional Bulk SMS?

In India, the Telecom Regulatory Authority has categorized SMS in two verticals.

1. Transactional SMS
2. Promotional SMS

As the name suggests, promotional SMS are meant for marketing purpose. You can send any content through it, e.g., Discount Coupons, Sale invitations, etc. However, there are some restrictions applied to who you can send them to and until what time.

Promotional SMS cannot be sent with a Sender ID (brand name). Instead, they will be sent through a 6-digit code assigned to the telemarketer. Also, promotional bulk SMS can be sent between 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM to non-dnd registered users.

There are substantial penalties for violation of above guidelines. Therefore Ziffy ensures whenever you send any promotional SMS it will adhere to the policies laid down by the Indian government.
