Bulk SMS Won’t Deliver If…



Dear Nigerian bulk SMS user, please pay a very close attention to this because your bulk SMS will not be delivered if you don’t avoid the following banned words in your sender ID & SMS content:



1. Never use a phone number as your SENDER ID or in the body of your message. GLO forbids it.

2. Avoid using brand names that’s not yours in your SENDER ID. For example, MTN, GTBank, GLO, Lacesera, etc.

3. Never combine alphabets with numbers such as FIFA2013, ICPC2020 in your SENDER ID. They are blocked on all the GSM networks in some gateways.

4. Never use numbers that’s less than 11 digits such as ‘121, 2067, 3033, 180, etc as your SENDER ID. It’s blocked on all the GSM networks.

5. Avoid words commonly used by SCAMMERS such as: promo, won, call, congratulations, promo, hurray, prize, etc.

6. Always test delivery of your SMS to your own number before sending especially to large numbers. Better be safe than sorry.

All these measures have nothing to do with us. It’s the GSM networks that have put these filters in place to block SMS sent by “419 people” since they deliver billions of it every single day!

NOTE: We won’t refund any unit if you do any of the above and your SMS aren’t delivered. Because our gateway providers would have charged us, too.

If you are not clarified PLEASE contact us for more explanation. Thank you.
