LETTER OF INTENT FOR ELECTION MESSAGES & SPAM MESSAGES

Dear Customer,

We are grateful for your patronage and loyalty over the years. The year 2015 is around the corner and elections will soon be held.  Some network operators do not allow political messages containing text that attack other political parties, this practice is considered SPAM.

We implore you to be fair and reasonable in your choice of words in political messages pertaining to the forth coming elections.

Also, note that any person wishing to send political messages on behalf of his party is required to first forward to us a “Letter of Intent”.  This is a requirement by some Network Operators.  Political messages without a Letter of Intent received by the Operators may not be delivered.

REASONS FOR UNDELIVERABLE MESSAGES - REMINDER

This is to remind you about the recent updates of some of the network providers, which were highlighted in the previous newsletter, the installation of some measures on their server to curtail fraud.

Some of these measures are:

• Usage of numeric characters less than 11 digits such as ‘999’, ‘3021’ or ’777’ as SenderID is not accepted on all networks.
• Usage of names of known organizations either in the body of your message or as the SenderID of your message is not acceptable. (E.g  BBC, CNN, MTN, GLO, ETISALAT, NOKIA, SAMSUN, TECNO,SMS DEPOT, COCA COLA etc).
• GLOBACOM Nigeria does not allow the usage of Phone numbers as the Sender's Id, as well as the inclusion of Phone numbers in the body of the message.
• MTN Nigeria does not allow the use Promo, Y’ello, MTN etc in a message or as the Sender’s id.
• Be mindful of your usage of words such as Won, Win, Lottery, Congrats, Congratulations, etc. If you are sure your message is not spam, please let us know ahead for approval.

You may be charged and the messages will not get delivered when any of these measures is ignored, we would not be able to refund the units charged because we would be billed as well for the messages.  So to avoid this, you need to take note of these precautions.
