FAQs
Promotional SMS questions
What is promotional SMS?
Promotional SMS is marketing communication sent to opt-in audiences: offers, announcements, product launches, sale alerts and brand updates. Per TRAI rules, promotional messages deliver between 10 AM and 9 PM and skip DND-registered numbers.
When can promotional SMS be sent?
Between 10 AM and 9 PM on any day. Messages queued outside this window are held and dispatched as soon as the next window opens, so you can schedule whenever it's convenient for your team.
Can I use my own sender ID?
Yes. You can register a 6-character sender ID like
AD-HORIZN that reflects your brand, or a numeric header like 123456. Our team handles the DLT registration end-to-end at no cost.How do I upload my contact list?
Drop in a CSV or Excel file with mobile numbers (one per row) directly in the web panel. Save lists as named groups so you can reuse them across campaigns. Duplicates and invalid numbers are filtered automatically.
How many SMS can I send in one campaign?
Up to 5 lakh messages in a single send. Throughput is 100 SMS/sec on standard accounts and higher on enterprise plans, so even large campaigns finish in minutes.
Do I need DLT registration to send promotional SMS?
Yes. Per TRAI's regulation, all commercial SMS to Indian numbers require entity, header and template registration on the DLT portal. We assist with the entire process free of charge so you can focus on the campaign, not the paperwork.
Can I send in Tamil, Hindi or other Indian languages?
Yes. Send in 15+ Indian languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati and Kannada. Pick Unicode in the web panel or set
type=uni on the API.What kind of delivery reports do I get?
Live per-number status (delivered, failed, pending), network-wise breakdown, and a downloadable report for every campaign with timestamps and operator details.
How much does promotional SMS cost?
Promotional SMS is priced by volume and starts as low as 14 paise per SMS with good volume. See our pricing page for all plans, or talk to sales for a quote tailored to your usage.
