Bulk SMS Nigeria

DND stands for Do-Not-Disturb. A service introduced by Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) that enables mobile subscribers to opt out of marketing/promotional messages of which bulk SMS is classified as one. Hence, mobile numbers on the DND list are not able to receive bulk SMS via the regular route.

To deliver to DND numbers, we make use of our Hosted SIMs. We first attempt delivery for all your numbers using the regular route then watch out for those that are rejected because of DND. We then refund or resend to DND numbers depending on the option you chose under the DND Management section which sending the message.

Please, note that the Sender ID would be changed for only DND numbers.

Text 'STATUS' to '2442' to check your DND status (for all networks in Nigeria).
To opt out of DND,
on MTN text 'ALLOW' to '2442',
on GLO text 'CANCEL' to '2442',
on Etisalat text 'START' to '2442',
on Airtel text 'ALLOW' to '2442'

You pay for failed messages, that is; messages that were not delivered to number(s) in your destination list/database.

There are two reasons for this:

1. The networks charge us for all submissions except for rejected messages going to DND active numbers on the regular route, which we also refund to you or resend via our Hosted SIM depending on your choice.
2. We expend more resources in handling failed messages as we re-try sending these messages
   before reporting it as a failed message.

If you choose the 'Resend to DND Numbers via the Hosted SIM' option, extra funds would be deducted from your wallet to resend the messages to the affected DND numbers. You can see the details of the resent messages here.

On the other hand, if your choose the 'Get A Refund' option, you wallet would be credited with units deducted for the affected DND numbers. You can also see the details of the refunded messages here.
