Comments | Networks in Saudi Arabia have implemented very complex spam filters that in most cases block even legitimate application to person traffic. Therefore, cheap signalling/roaming links do not deliver well especially for high value content such as password delivery or alerts, let alone marketing bulk traffic. Additionally, all the routes in Saudi are unstable due local issues so relying on one route is not possible. |
Message restrictions | No Adult content is allowed. |
Domestic* Clients: This refers to clients requesting for messaging services within the country they are based out of. Example: Saudi client, requesting for termination of messages toward their Saudi audience.
International** Clients: This refers to clients requesting for messaging services outside the country they are based out of. Example: Indian client, requesting for termination of messages toward their Saudi audience.
Please find attached below the Documents that needs to be submitted for Domestic clients. This is mandatory before you send any messages towards Saudi Arabia.
