Notes

The Cook Islands (CK) is a part of North America and has specific guidelines for text messaging. Alphanumeric sender IDs are allowed, as are numeric sender IDs. However, using generic sender IDs such as INFO, SMS, NOTICE, etc. is prohibited.

When it comes to marketing communications, it is necessary to obtain consent from recipients before sending marketing messages. It is important to note that person-to-person (P2P) traffic is prohibited. Furthermore, there are restrictions on content related to politics, religion, unsolicited advertising, adult content or gambling. In addition to these specific content requirements, please refer to our Acceptable Use Policy for further guidelines.

It's important to be aware that the rules for SMS broadcasting can change and we strive to keep all information up to date and accurate. For more information or assistance, it is recommended to contact an expert.
