Notes

Country: Trinidad and Tobago (TT).

Trinidad and Tobago is part of the North American Numbering System (NANP) and has the country code 1868. When sending SMS messages to this country, there are specific sender ID guidelines. Alphanumeric sender IDs are not supported for the TSTT network (37412) and may be changed to ensure delivery. However, alphanumeric sender IDs are supported for the Digicel network (374130). Numeric sender IDs are only allowed if they are offered through a two-way service. Generic sender IDs such as INFO, SMS and NOTICE are not allowed.

When it comes to marketing traffic, it is necessary to obtain consent from users before sending messages. Peer-to-peer (P2P) traffic is not allowed and no content related to politics, religion, unsolicited advertising or gambling may be sent. There are no additional content restrictions beyond those stated in our Acceptable Use Policy.

We recommend that you stay updated on the current rules as the terms for SMS messages may change. We strive to ensure that all information is correct and up-to-date.
