Notes
Country: Austria (AT).
To send SMS messages to Austria, there are specific guidelines that must be followed. Sender ID must be alphanumeric, as numeric sender IDs are not supported. It is important to use a representative brand or company name as the sender ID. Generic sender IDs such as INFO, SMS, NOTICE etc. are not allowed.
When it comes to marketing messages, it is necessary to obtain consent from recipients before sending messages. It is also important to note that person-to-person (P2P) traffic is prohibited, as is content related to politics, religion, unsolicited advertising or gambling. There are no additional content restrictions beyond those stated in our Acceptable Use Policy.
We do our best to ensure that all information on specific terms is up-to-date and accurate, but we cannot accept responsibility for changes in legislation. For further information and advice, it is recommended to contact an expert.
