Frequently Asked Questions
Messages sent without a registered sender ID will be sent with a generic sender ID such as “SMS” or “INFO.” While it’s not mandatory, Plivo recommends registering.
Go through the DLT registration (Sender ID) process, otherwise you’ll be charged international pricing for messages sent with a generic sender ID.
Plivo does not offer phone numbers for rental or purchase in India.
DLT stands for distributed ledger technology. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) requires any entity who wants to send SMS to register in order to curb unsolicited commercial communication (UCC). Required information includes organizational details, message headers and templates, and required consent information.
We do not have an exact date yet, but hope to offer local phone numbers to certain users before the end of 2022. Reach out to your customer success manager for more information.
