Sender ID registration requirements
To register an alpha sender for traffic in Saudi Arabia, please provide the following information:
The specific requirements for sender ID registration include providing a sender ID, content samples, company name, company URL, company address, type of traffic, company field of activity, and VAT.
Any promotional or awareness traffic sent to this destination outside the specified window will be automatically held by the supplier’s system and released once the permitted delivery period begins. Promotional traffic during Ramadan may only be delivered between 12:00 PM and 1:00 AM (GMT+3).
Please note that fees may apply for the registration process.
For registration, please ensure to send the required information to Sales or support for assistance with sender ID registration. This will facilitate the process of obtaining your alpha sender ID for traffic in Saudi Arabia.
Additional information for partners and resellers
Partners and resellers must ensure that their customers are aware that the end customer, as the actual sender of the message, is responsible for the use, accuracy, and registration of the Sender ID. This includes ensuring that all required registrations, approvals, and supporting documentation are completed in accordance with applicable local requirements before traffic is sent.
LINK Mobility does not register Sender IDs on behalf of partners’ or resellers’ customers, unless otherwise agreed. LINK Mobility may provide support to partners and end customers throughout the registration process. Responsibility for providing correct information, obtaining any required approvals, and complying with mandatory Sender ID registration processes remains with the end customer. Partners and resellers should inform their customers of these obligations before sending traffic to destinations where Sender ID registration is mandatory.
