Hints and tips
Mali (ML) has specific guidelines for sending SMS messages. Alphanumeric sender IDs are supported, but they must include the brand name. Numeric sender IDs are not allowed unless a two-way service is used. Generic sender IDs such as INFO, SMS, NOTICE, etc. are prohibited.
When it comes to marketing traffic, prior consent is required from recipients before messages are sent. It is important to note that person-to-person (P2P) traffic is prohibited.
