Compliance
Messaging Compliance Guides by Country
SMS, WhatsApp, voice and RCS rules for 72 countries, written for businesses planning campaigns.
Plan Campaigns That Stay Compliant
Sending the right message in the wrong way can get a sender ID blocked, a WhatsApp number restricted or a business fined. These guides summarise, for each country we work with, the main rules on consent, sender registration, calling and sending hours, and data protection for SMS, WhatsApp, voice calls and RCS.
They are a planning aid, not legal advice. For each client campaign we confirm current requirements with operators and providers before launch.

Compliance Guide FAQs
Why do messaging rules differ so much between countries?
Each country regulates unsolicited communication and personal data differently. India uses DLT registration and DND preferences, the EU and UK rely on ePrivacy and GDPR consent rules, the US combines the TCPA with carrier registration, and many Gulf countries regulate sender IDs and calling hours.
Do these guides cover WhatsApp?
Yes. WhatsApp is governed by Meta's policies worldwide, plus local data protection and marketing law in each country.
Are these guides kept up to date?
We review them periodically, but rules change. Always confirm current requirements before a campaign; we do this for every client launch.
