Get consent<\/h3>\n<p>To receive SMS messages, your recipients must express written authorization and demonstrate legitimate interests. All opt-in language must clarify what the subscriber gets when they sign up.<\/p>\n<p>Brands must offer relevant links to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which determine who will have access to the data they are sharing while soliciting consent.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Provide timely opt-out<\/h3>\n<p>You must process it promptly if a user revokes their consent to receive SMS communications. The most common ways brands offer opting out are when customers:<\/p>\n<p>Reply STOP (for SMS with a numeric sender ID)<\/p>\n<p>Click an unsubscribe link (for SMS with an alphanumeric sender ID)<\/p>\n<p>Contact customer service for a manual unsubscribe<\/p>\n<h3>3. Offer clear sender identity<\/h3>\n<p>As a business, you must mention your identity when sending SMS messages to your customers.<\/p>\n<p>This is slightly different for brands with an alphanumeric versus a numeric header.<\/p>\n<p>With an alphanumeric sender ID, customers can easily see that your brand is messaging them.<\/p>\n<p>If you use a numeric sender ID, your brand identifier automatically shows at the beginning of the text.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Only send during approved hours<\/h3>\n<p>Finally, for both compliance and your customers\u2019 whole night of rest, there are \u201cquiet hours\u201d that all UK brands must adhere to for SMS marketing. In the UK, brands cannot send SMS marketing messages after 8:00 p.m. or before 9:00 a.m.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Take extra compliance measures if you\u2019re using a short code<\/h3>\n<p>As the name suggests, SMS shortcode campaigns come from a shorter numeric sender (usually 5-6 digits). In the UK, using shortcodes means you have to comply with an additional set of compliance regulations\u2014some of which overlap with the above, like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Have explicit consent during opt-in<\/li>\n<li>Allow recipients to opt-out<\/li>\n<li>Identify your brand<\/li>\n<li>Openly share the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>SMS Pricing in the UK<\/h2>\n<h4>Basic Plan<\/h4>\n<p>PowerTextor\u2019s basic SMS plan offers the following features priced at 50 pounds per month:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1,000 Text Messages<\/li>\n<li>Incoming Messages<\/li>\n<li>Customer Reviews<\/li>\n<li>Unlimited Contacts<\/li>\n<li>Unlimited Contact Group<\/li>\n<li>Event Reminders<\/li>\n<li>Custom Registration Pages<\/li>\n<li>Push Notifications<\/li>\n<li>Unique Local Number<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Pro Plan<\/h4>\n<p>Pro Plan is priced at 200 pounds per month and offers the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>5,000 Text Messages<\/li>\n<li>Incoming Messages<\/li>\n<li>Customer Reviews<\/li>\n<li>Unlimited Contacts<\/li>\n<li>Unlimited Contact Group<\/li>\n<li>Event Reminders<\/li>\n<li>Custom Registration Pages<\/li>\n<li>Push Notifications<\/li>\n<li>Unique Local Number<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Enterprise Plan<\/h4>\n<p>Enterprise Plan priced at 400 pounds per month offers the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>10,000 Text Messages<\/li>\n<li>Incoming Messages<\/li>\n<li>Customer Reviews<\/li>\n<li>Unlimited Contacts<\/li>\n<li>Unlimited Contact Group<\/li>\n<li>Event Reminders<\/li>\n<li>Custom Registration Pages<\/li>\n<li>Push Notifications<\/li>\n<li>Unique Local Number<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PowerTextor, a top Microsoft Power Platform partner for rapid digital transformation, announced the expansion of its SMS marketing services in the UK.
