  • The brand should be used in both the sender ID and the message content, for example sender ID Google with content Your Google password is 12345.
  • The operator Zain may block all A2P SMS that does not comply.

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.
