Is this something that you offer? If so, can you please email me your pricing.

Thank you,

Hi John,

Very interesting idea – looks like you’re running a similar model to campaign monitor ?

Is this a US centric model ?

Cheers,
Pat

Comment on Writing SMS Opt-Out (STOP) Messages by Yury

Thomas,

For questions on Australian messaging, I would recommend you reach out to the guys at BurstSMS.

I’ve heard of time restrictions with regards to voice, applying to commercial and marketing messages. You might have more flexibility with P2P-type messaging, like appointment reminders or chat. Still, I’ve read condensed versions of the Australian anti-SPAM acts and haven’t seen this.

Consider as well that short codes and long codes may be subject to different rules, as they are in the US.

I’m interested in these questions myself, but we’re getting outside the scope of this post. I’ll look into it some more. If you’re interested, feel free to email me: yury@ this domain.

Cheers!

Another wrinkle with international flavor … I have come to understand that Australia requires observation of a “quiet time” so that no texts are delivered before 8am (9am on weekends) or after 9pm. This is complicated by the multiple time zones in Australia, and by the Australian phone numbering system having a specify “city code” for mobiles so that you have no idea where in the country the phone might be.

Are you aware of any other countries that require “quiet time” for SMS?

Or best practices for complying with Australian rules?

As always, thanks.

Thomas, absolutely. Shortcodes are by nature more prohibitive than longcodes, and US operators are among the (if not the) most stringent. Shortcodes are bound directly to the carriers, while longcodes operate over the same SS7 backbone as the carriers. So enforcing content and workflow restrictions is easier on shortcodes.

Most of the messaging in Europe and elsewhere has historically been delivered over longcodes, where commercial SMS is more common and loosely controlled. It’s more a factor of the delivery mechanism and how much influence the carriers have over content than privacy laws or government-enforced consumer protection.

Longcodes are now more readily available in the US, with a commensurate increase (at least anecdotally) in spam that’s difficult to opt-out of. We’re actually doing longcode messaging ourselves, but we adhere to the MMA opt-out and ‘help’ guidelines. I’m wondering whether the first to do this.
