OPT-OUT

As per the rules of Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), OPT-OUT SMS is sent to every DND number so that the user can unsubscribe receiving SMS from a particular sender ID.

Every country has its own strict rules and, according to the rules in India, we send this SMS on your behalf. This SMS differs on the basis of every country’s rules.

How the receiver can unsubscribe: If the user will go through the link provided, then s/he will be  able to confirm her/his choice of opting out and if s/he wishes then s/he can also give a missed call to the number provided in the same message. Both methods will result in blocking the number for future messaging.

Why is OPT-OUT important: This SMS is an additional security to avoid the risk of complaints. If you are unable to provide proper registration details, you will be charged Rs. 25,000 for every complaint.

Note: This SMS will be sent every 3 months for a particular Sender ID.

Transactional VS Promotional

The following are the listed differences between Transactional and Promotional routes:

TransactionalPromotional
1.  These can be used for
     sending any type of information.
     Ex. Order updates, Bank Transactions etc.
1.  These are specifically used for
      marketing purposes.
Ex. Sale, Offers etc.
2.  Transactional SMS
     can be sent any time
2.  Promotional SMS are sent
     between 9 AM to 9 PM only
3.  SMS can be sent on DND numbers3.  SMS cannot be sent on DND numbers
4.  In API route=44.  In API route=1   

 The route is for SendOTP. if you are looking for OTP services, we would suggest you opt for SendOTP because it has various advantages over the traditional transactional route:

A request ID is a unique 24 character alpha-numeric ID which lets us get the full report of the SMS submitted by the user.

You can find the request ID of any specific message in the Log section by moving your cursor on the log.

A typical request ID looks like, 558255015263edec108b459

Absent subscriber: Absent subscriber due to the phone being switched off, due to phone out of coverage, due to roaming restriction/restricted area.

Absent subscriber (HLR Access Denied: Postponed): Subscriber cannot be reached at the time of broadcast or unknown subscriber. The Home Location Register is a database. It provides routing information for MT (Mobile Terminated) calls and SMS (Short Message Service) Absent subscriber (No acknowledgment): Absent subscriber due to the phone being switched off, due to phone out of coverage, due to roaming restriction/restricted area without acknowledgment.

Absent subscriber (Destination resource shortage): The message is rejected because there was no paging response, the IMSI record is marked detached, or the MS is subject to roaming restrictions.

Absent subscriber (SMS delivery postponed): User’s mobile number not reachable or out of network coverage area.

Absent subscriber (Destination out of service): Mobile number barred at the carrier end.

Absent subscriber SM: Out of coverage area (or) switched off. The error might be due to the poor network coverage area and the same flag was updated in the HLR.

Where to find the report in c2sms

3. Here you get to see all the reports, you can also search using ‘Mobile number’. You can also check if a number has been verified or if a retry attempt has been made.

Where to find the reports in c2sms

Different colors in status have different meanings :

Red: Failed
Blue: Delivered
Yellow: Pending
Grey: Retry
Green: Verified

Note: Messages which are pending for more than 15 minutes are logged, else the entry is made only when the message is finally updated as delivered or failed

There are two processes. You can choose either,

1. OTP verification at SendOTP server

Once you call the OTP API we generate OTP and save it in the secured database for defined seconds and then send the SMS to the user. If the user does not receive the SMS, they can ask for resending.

Once you call the same API with the same mobile number, we automatically generate voice call and read OTP.

  • We match the code and verify
  • On success, we give a refresh token
  • You take this token from the user and call refresh token, verify API from your
  • server to our SendOTP server

2. OTP verification on your server

In this process, once you call the OTP API from your server, we give you OTP in response and you can save it on your server. You can use it for the verification process on your server only.

Both the processes are secure from our end, but process number 2 is dependent on your security protocols.

Sender ID

Sender ID is a set of characters that represent the identity of a sender. For example, when you receive a regular SMS from a friend, her/his name (as stored in your contacts) is displayed as a Sender. Similarly, when a business sends an SMS to its customers, a numeric or alphabetic set of characters represents the company or brand name.

Sender ID for Promotional SMS is numeric and is decided by the operator. For example 777777

Sender ID for Transactional SMS is 6 alphabetic characters in India. For example: NOTIFY, MSGIND. For other countries, sender ID format may vary according to the rules of a particular country.

Also, failed messages are charged but NDNC and Blacklisted numbers are not charged.

Credits are the number of SMS you currently have in your account. When you send an SMS, your credits get deducted accordingly. Credit Deduction refers to the number of credits deducted from your balance for sending the message.

When you send an SMS in English the credit limit is 150-160 characters whereas in the Unicode option i.e. when you send SMS in other languages, the limit is 55-70 characters.

In case, of transactional messaging, an OPT-OUT SMS is sent to the DND numbers for which an extra credit is deducted.

What is the character limit for a single credit in English & Unicode How is credit calculated in c2sms

CREDIT CALCULATION:

With the number of characters increasing, the second credit consists of 306 characters and moving on in this manner the value of credit deduction increases by adding 153 characters in the SMS every time. As the number of characters keeps on increasing the number of credits deducted will also increase according to that.

For Unicode the credit calculation as below:

  • 70 Characters (Standard SMS) 1 SMS Credit
  • 134 Characters (Multi-part SMS) 2 SMS credit
  • (2 * 67 characters) 2 SMS Credits / Units-201 Characters (Multi-part SMS) 3 credits

Dedicated Long -Code will be 10 digits mobile number of your choice. There will be a one-time set-up cost for the new mobile number. The keyword can be of your choice as the incoming SMS is differentiated by the mobile number in this case.

When someone sends an SMS on your keyword and you aren’t receiving it, there can be three main reasons behind this situation:

  1. In case, your inbox balance is zero, you’ll not receive messages through the keyword.
  2. If your inbox balance is not zero and still you are not receiving the message, the reason behind this is that the expiry date of your inbox has passed and you need to get it extended by contacting our support team.
  3. Other than the above reasons, one more reason is if the format of the keyword is not correct, you might not receive messages in this case.

You can contact our support team for the same.

1. Virtual Number:

Virtual Number is a 10 Digit Mobile Number (sometimes also called as Longcode Number) to which your clients or members can send an SMS starting with a keyword.

You will be able to receive the messages in your C2sms inbox, on your email and also on your callback URL. You will also be able to set an auto-reply SMS to all the numbers from which you have received responses. Now if you want to send the reply SMS after some calculation on the text received from your client, you will need to integrate the SMS API in your software which will shoot your SMS after the calculation.

For eg. in Kaun Banega Crorepati, you are supposed to send an SMS to 56565 with KBC A/B/C/D

2. Keyword:

If someone sends an SMS starting with your keyword, you will be able to receive the messages in your C2sms inbox, on your email or also on your callback URL. So KBC is the keyword. You can choose any keyword for yourself.

You can also set an automatic reply for the SMS you receive.

A keyword of 6 or more than 6 characters would be free of cost. Other than that the pricing would be as follows:

5 Character: 1,000 Rupees

4 Character : 2,000 Rupees

3 Character : 3,000 Rupees

2 Character : 4,000 Rupees

1 Character : 5,000 Rupees
