| Registration Sender ID |
Due to recent changes implemented by the local operators and networks, all non-registered sender IDs will officially be rejected. Any 'successful' delivery is down to our platform providing the best-effort delivery for any non-registered messages. If you'd like to register a name for traffic to UAE, please send an email to support@messagebird.com with your preferred sender ID, a sample message and some additional information about the (business) application for which you want to send these messages. |
| Opt-Out |
In line with local regulations, promotional traffic should include information on how to opt-out. All promotional SMS must include the sentence "To stop receiving “b senderID" to 7726". Messages without this content will be blocked by local operators. |
