Notes
Niger (NE) has specific guidelines for sending SMS messages. Sender ID must be alphanumeric and contain the brand name, noting that sender IDs are case-sensitive. Numeric sender IDs are not supported unless it is a two-way service. In such cases, numeric sender IDs will be overwritten to ensure delivery. Generic sender IDs such as INFO, SMS, NOTICE etc. are not allowed.
When it comes to marketing traffic, it is necessary to obtain consent from users before sending messages. It is important to emphasize that P2P traffic is prohibited and that content related to politics, religion, unsolicited promotion or gambling is not allowed. In addition, no further content restrictions apply beyond those described in our Acceptable Use Policy.
