>>> manual reviews, paying for verification and paying for every re-submission is not okay
If you are referring to senderID registration (or 10DLC in the US), then things are getting really complicated thanks to the increase in smishing and the government regulations trying to stop it. In many countries, there is a significant amount of paperwork - and sometime fees - to do to allow your traffic to flow. Along with this, SMS margins have been really tight in the last 4-5 years (think 2%-3%), so these companies need to charge you for this paperwork and many times the rejections are not coming from them, but from the telco regulatory authority in a given country.
source: running a SMS service for the last 20 years.
- llmblockchain 2y agoI get it. Spam sucks, and I get it for marketing purposes. However, when all you want to do is send low volume transactional messages (payment failure, etc) it really sucks. I don't mind paying a premium. I'd happily pay 3x Twilio's messaging fee if I had no BS to go through.
- fasteo 2y agoYou are out of luck. No serious SMS aggregator will bypass regulations. In my experience, Sinch has the best registration workflow (everything online, document templates and knowledgeable support team). Vonage is next.
