Abstract Regulations: Simple in the Front-End, Compliant in the Back-End

In France, SMS must originate from a source, not a number.

Standard World SMS character limit is 160 characters. In Brazil, the limit is 157.

India Telecom regulations prohibit promotional messages from being delivered from 9PM - 9AM.

Nexmo adapts the delivery method, automatically switching out the phone number with a ‘pre-approved’ delivery code

With local understanding of French SMS regulations, we can guarantee the message gets delivered.

Carrier Restriction

Brazil

If application sends communication based on the 160 standard, message will get truncated for Brazil recipients, altering intent.

Nexmo recognizes the potential delivery failure and modifies the communication to fit as intended.
