The following policies apply to our SMS solutions and services via different mediums(App, web or API)

Included SMS Services

Some of Dialmantra plans include bundled SMS services with them. The SMS services can be used for person to person communication and must comply with the guidelines. The SMS services should not be used for automated messaging and spamming. The included SMS should adhere to Dialmantra Terms and Acceptable Use Policy.

SMS Services Limitations and Restrictions

Bulk/Promotional(High Volume) SMS

Opt-in/ user consent

You must have their express consent before sending an SMS message to any number. Outside of immediately responding to a received SMS, implied consent is not considered sufficient for SMS. Additionally, buying a list of "users who have opted in to SMS" is not acceptable either. SMS messages can only be sent if a user actively requests to receive them.

A consent can be obtained by simply explaining to a user on a web form that he/she is opting into SMS messages, or by asking them send a message about the same to your number. Use a double opt-in process that confirms their consent via SMS and validates their phone number.

Consent, opt-ins and opt-outs must be logged so that when asked for proof of the consent by regulatory bodies/government agencies, the same can be presented. Also, to help them audit the whole process.

Failure to ensure opt-in may result in your number or service being blocked or suspended by mobile carriers or Dialmantra.

Opt-out

Users must be able to opt out of SMS messages from you via text message. For opt-out requests, CTIA guidelines provide specific keywords such as STOP and UNSUBSCRIBE. Other methods of opt-out management may be necessary to avoid sending SMS to consumers who have opted out.
