As you may know, SMS regulations in India were changed in
September 2011 to involve strict new laws on what types of messaging are
allowed and at what times they are permitted to be sent (information on these
regulations can be found here
on the 2sms blog.)
We have since been updated that further to the original
regulations, Indian networks are now rejecting any messages sent between 21:00
and 09:00 Indian Standard Time (16:30-04:30 British Summer Time.) Any messages
sent to the networks between these times would fail rather than simply being
delayed.
As a result 2sms has implemented a queuing system for our
customers which will collect any traffic going to Indian mobile phones between
these hours until the networks reopen at 9am IST. This means that your messages
will not be delivered immediately if they are submitted during this time
period, but will be sent later. While we understand this is less than ideal,
unfortunately our hands are tied by the Indian government’s legal requirements.
If you have any questions about this or any other 2sms
service please get in touch with our Sales and Support Team on 0800 65 222 77
or email support@2sms.com.
