  • Sending times: MTN does not allow promotional traffic from 8:00 PM to 8:00 AM, and full liability for any regulatory fine resulting from messages sent outside this window is borne by the sender.
  • Restricted content: Sex · Hate · Alcohol · Firearms · Tobacco
  • MTN applies strict rules to international sender IDs approved for marketing use: any transactional SMS sent through a sender ID exclusively preregistered for marketing or promotional purposes is charged at one USD per SMS.
  • Political content is allowed as sensitive content subject to prior review.
  • Religious, gambling and betting content is allowed as sensitive content.
  • Illegal substances content (marijuana/cannabis, CBD/THC, prescription drugs, vaping) is allowed as sensitive content.

  • High-risk financial services content (payday loans, short term high-interest loans, third-party auto loans, third-party mortgage loans, student loans, cryptocurrency) is allowed as sensitive content.

These rules are what we generally check against, however they may not be up-to-date. We'll always keep you informed of what is needed for each destination throughout any registration process.
