Notes

Country: Croatia (HR).

Croatia has specific guidelines for sending SMS messages. Alphanumeric sender IDs are dynamically supported, while numeric sender IDs are not allowed unless offered as part of a two-way service. Numeric sender IDs will be overwritten to ensure delivery. Generic sender IDs such as INFO, SMS, NOTICE, etc. are prohibited; it is recommended to use a representative brand or company name to ensure deliverability.

When it comes to marketing traffic, prior consent from mobile users is required before sending messages. 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 described in our Acceptable Use Policy.

It is important to note that the rules for SMS broadcasting in individual countries may change and we strive to keep all information up-to-date and accurate. For more information or assistance, please contact our experts.
