SPAM Message

Is your SMS often considered as SPAM message? Let me help you quick.

Having problems with your messages being filtered and recognized as 'Spam message?

Recently, United State is strengthening their spam filtering system regarding verification code messages sent to the United States where cases are often identified as spam occurrence.


In the following note, please check the verification code message samples to minimize messages being filtered away sending toward to United States.


1) Enhanced Spam filtering system run by United States
- If URLs such as (www.apple.com or www.yahoo.com) are attached within the verification code message, it will be considered as Spam messages and being filtered.


2) How to avoid Spam filtering
- I recommend to send two separate messages by one for verification code only and the other for URL address contain only.

the marketing message will not be able to be the Short messages.

Now you are going to confused between Concatenated SMS vs LMS
I am going to explain in easy way. Read Following ;


Concatenated SMS
-am able to contain more than 160 English characters. 
-It works like this: 
   *User sends SMS, it's broken down into smaller parts
   *These parts are sent as a single message
   *All SMS reach destination & mobile combines all those ones into 1 long SMS
-Mobile must support this one. 


LMS
-Long message up to 2,000bytes available
-It is applied only to South Korea.

The meaning of Sender ID ?

What is Sender ID?

When you receive a message, what is the first thing you are looking at? The number it came from. It will happen unconsciously, as the text message and its meaning might differ depending on who you received ot.

About Sender ID

– Sender ID is the originated address of which the message comes from.- It is often the displayed sender on the mobile number.- Each country has its own sender ID restrictions

Sender ID can be

• 1. Alpha sender – Ex. SureM
• 2. Numeric sender – Ex. 8215884640
• 3. Alphanumeric sender ID – Ex. SureM123

Here are some examples of Sender ID regulations per country :

• 1. Korea
  • No alpha / alphanumeric sender ID allowed
  • Only numeric sender ID is allowed
  • Between 0 ~ 12 digits
• 2. India
  • Need to pre-register alpha Sender ID
  • Fixed 6 digits
  • Ex. SUREMC
• 3. China
  • Numeric only
  • Need to pre-register signature to be added at the bottom of the message

Ex ) Good day! Thank you using SureM Service. 【SureM】

Every country has different regulations regarding the Sender ID policy. To get a detailed consultation contact SureM.

What is Opt - Out?

OPT - OUT

An opt-out is special feature (required in many countries) added to promotional messages, that allows handset users to unsubscribe from receiving any further SMS from the sender.
Typically, there are several forms of opt-out used in SMS industry :

1. MO SMS – in this case, the handset user may send a message as a reply to the number the original MT SMS was received from, saying something like “STOP”, “NO”, “UNSUBSCRIBE” etc. This type of opt-out is commonly used in China (TD, N, 0), Russia and many other countries.
2. Auto-response system – this option is used in South Korea. The government implemented a system where any company willing to send promotional messages must include an opt-out via Toll Free number beginning with 080-… The main point here, is that is the handset user is willing to unsubscribe from receiving any SMS in the future, the process of opting-out must be free for them. The companies renting 080 numbers are the ones paying for the service, so everyone (more or less) is happy.
3. Link in the body of the message  – “to opt-out from receiving any more news fromhttp://www.ournews.com please go to your personal page and choose the unsubscribe box” – this one is relatively popular as well. A lot of companies, especially e-commerce or online magazines / newsletters are bound to use this option simply because people who subscribe to the services are from different countries and following opt-out regulations for each and every one of them is extremely hard. But, in this case the chance of handset users raising a claim with their mobile carrier and the line getting blocked is very high as well.

In the end, the best way to make sure no laws are broken and the local government is not suing your company for harassing the citizens is to be a step ahead and get all information possible before entering any market with your SMS campaigns.
