Crossing borders with SMS isn't just about translation; it's about navigating costs and regulations, too. Learn the signs that your vendor is holding you and your SMS messages back.
With the large sums you pay for SMS, your organization shouldn’t settle for SMS providers who don’t have direct connectivity.
Said differently, if your SMS vendor isn’t part of the solution, they may become a significant part of the problem. SMS messages you’re paying good money to send may be blocked without your knowledge. They may also fail to meet increasingly stringent compliance requirements, opening your organization to severe penalties.
Another crucial factor to consider is that you’re probably not paying the lowest possible per-message rate. If left unaddressed, this reality hurts your ROI and means you’ll continue to throw good money at bad results.
Before we launch into those red flags, let’s identify some common factors that lead to blocked SMS messages in the first place.
