Sender rules as reviewed 2026-10-08. 15 of 230 territories have been checked against a regulator or operator source (France, Germany, Netherlands, Ireland, United Kingdom, Canada and others); the rest are indicative and should be confirmed before a high-volume campaign.
What it takes to register a source address
Where a sender ID must be registered, this is what you will be asked for. Requirements differ between local and international senders, so they are listed separately — 118 territories have published requirements, across 200 registration routes.

Requirements are set by the destination operator and change without notice. Registration must normally be approved before traffic flows, so allow for the turnaround above in your schedule. Ask us to confirm a specific market.
Where registration is documented in full
For some markets the registration process is covered in its own guide, in more depth than a table allows. These are the ones:
Canada
Toll-free verification under the CTIA framework applies in Canada as well as the US, and unverified numbers are blocked for A2P traffic.
How the three routes differ for the US and Canada, including which suits high-volume and promotional campaigns.
A short comparison of the three sender types and when each is the right choice.
Colombia
Traffic runs through a shared short code and message templates must be approved in advance, so the requirements are agreed per campaign.
Gabon
Local traffic has no working connection, so there is nothing to register until a route is in place.
United States
The mainstream route: what brand registration records (legal name, tax status, identity), how campaign registration works, trust scores and throughput, and registry timing.
Verification is free and usually takes a few business days; unverified numbers have been blocked for A2P since 31 January 2024. Have business identity details such as an EIN ready.
TCPA consent standards, CTIA principles, and the opt-out handling that sits alongside registration.
Market notes
34 markets carry restrictions worth spelling out beyond the table.

Under the anti-spam rules applying to sender registration, if spam activity is detected the regulator may delete the associated sender ID and the customer is barred from registering new sender IDs for the following month. Misuse of a sender ID — including sending without authority to use it, or distributing spam — may attract penalties.

Canada Northern America
The market is strictly regulated and opt-in is mandatory. Sender options are short code, 10DLC and toll-free number; short code is the most reliable direct connection and gives the best user recognition, suiting both promotional and transactional traffic. Campaigns must be registered for a specific use case to avoid being blocked by operators. Registration typically takes three to eight weeks, depending on the complexity of the use case and the information supplied.

Puerto Rico Caribbean
The market is strictly regulated and opt-in is mandatory. Sender options are short code, 10DLC and toll-free number; short code is the most reliable direct connection and gives the best user recognition, suiting both promotional and transactional traffic. Campaigns must be registered for a specific use case to avoid being blocked by operators. Registration typically takes three to eight weeks, depending on the complexity of the use case and the information supplied.

How to register
The mainstream route: what brand registration records (legal name, tax status, identity), how campaign registration works, trust scores and throughput, and registry timing.
Verification is free and usually takes a few business days; unverified numbers have been blocked for A2P since 31 January 2024. Have business identity details such as an EIN ready.
TCPA consent standards, CTIA principles, and the opt-out handling that sits alongside registration.
Checked against a regulator or operator source: FCC / CTIA messaging principles and carrier A2P requirements (TCPA, 10DLC campaign registration, SHAFT restrictions, STOP/HELP)

Common questions
Can I send SMS from a business name in any country?
No. Alphanumeric sender IDs are not universally available, and this is the most common surprise when planning an international campaign. Some markets accept only numeric senders, and others accept an alphanumeric sender ID but silently convert it to a random short or long number on delivery. Of the 230 territories in this reference, the Sender types column shows exactly which sender types are available in each.
What do I need to provide to register a source address?
It depends on the market, and on whether the sender is local or international — the two differ in most countries. Across the 118 territories where requirements are published, registration usually asks for your company name and website, a message example and your opt-out method. Many markets also require a use case description, an estimated monthly volume, a contact person, and proof of the business such as a company registration certificate or a letter of authorisation on company letterhead. The table above lists the exact information and documents per country, with the typical turnaround for each. Where registration is a bigger process — the United States and Canada, for example, where it runs through brand and campaign registration or toll-free verification — there is a link to the full guide.
Do I need to register a sender ID before sending SMS?
122 of the 230 territories covered here require the sender ID, and often the message template, to be registered and approved before traffic flows. Registration typically takes days to weeks depending on the market, so it belongs in the project plan rather than at the end. The Registration column flags which markets require it.
Which content is prohibited in SMS campaigns?
The most frequently restricted categories are gambling, phishing and delivery phishing, other scams, adult content, and political or religious messaging. Gambling is usually permitted for licensed operators only, and a number of markets prohibit it outright. The Prohibited content column lists the restricted categories per country, and the glossary above explains each term.
Is opt-out mandatory for promotional SMS?
It depends on the market. 8 of the 230 territories here make opt-out mandatory, and elsewhere it is still good practice and often required by the operator. The Opt-out column shows the position per country.
Can you confirm the rules for a country not fully listed here?
Yes. Tell us the destination and the kind of traffic and we will confirm the sender types available, what registration is needed and how long it takes, before you build the campaign around it. 15 of the 230 territories below have been checked against a regulator or operator source; the rest are indicative.
Sending to a market that is not listed, or not listed fully?
Tell us the destination and the kind of traffic and we will confirm the sender types available, what registration is needed, and how long it takes — before you build the campaign around it.
