New Route for Corporate Organizations

Dear Valued Customers,

We at SMSLIVE247 would like to express our sincere appreciation for your loyalty and continued patronage over the years.

We have been listening to your complaints about the Do-Not-Disturb policy introduced by the NCC which has been negatively affecting your various businesses, and as a solution, we now have a new route which grants corporate clients the exclusive privilege of outstripping this Do-Not-Disturb policy.

With this new route, corporate organizations such as pension companies, airlines, hospitals, hotels, services companies, finance houses, hospitality etc. can use their organization’s name as Sender ID and within the bulk SMS that they send without it being rejected. This service is at a premium of N3.50k per SMS.

Corporate organizations that are interested in applying for this route on our platform should kindly signify by sending us a mail indicating their interest.

We appreciate your patience with us and look forward to providing you with a more effective and efficient service delivery. If you have any questions regarding this development, please do not hesitate to contact our support desk on 08099999247 or mail to: info@smslive247.com

About the new Do-Not-Disturb policy

Dear Customers,

Please be informed that the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has directed all Telecommunications Company (MTN, GLO, Airtel, Etisalat, etc.) to allow existing subscribers to opt-in to receive SMS on Telemarketing, including but not limited to Value Added Services, e.g. flight schedule, weather forecast etc. in conformity with Part 111, section 20 (2) of CCPR, while consent of new subscribers will be sought to opt-in at the beginning of the contract.

MTN NG has in response, implemented a Full Blocking mode for Do-Not-Disturb on some numbers without the consent of the subscribers on their network.

The implication of this is that, all bulk SMS that is sent to phone numbers that have been placed on Do-Not-Disturb by MTN NG will be rejected and you will still be charged, because the networks charge us for all submissions regardless of the status.

This is a general directive affecting unsolicited messages (Bulk SMS) only, phone to phone messages and bank alerts are not affected, and it has been in force since the 1st of July, 2016. 

We therefore advise all stakeholders to inform their recipients whose numbers are on the DND list (as indicated by the rejected SMS shown in the delivery report) to contact their respective networks to have them removed from the DND list before their numbers can be allowed to receive Bulk SMS on them.

For more information about this and any other related issue, kindly contact our support department on 08099999247 and we’ll have all your questions answered.

Phone Number Verification Alert

Dear customers,

You may have been prompted to verify your phone numbers before logging into your portal on the SMSlive247 website recently. This is because we are planning on upgrading our systems very soon and as such, we need to identify every subscriber that is registered on our network for security purposes.

Therefore, when you come across the message telling you that your phone number has not been verified, simply confirm that the phone number displayed is correct.

Then click on the “Verify” button on the right hand side of your phone number.

A six-digit code will be sent immediately to the phone number you used to register on our platform. Please enter this code immediately after receiving it on your phone into the box provided and click on “Submit”.

You will receive a message on your computer screen saying, “Your phone number has been verified, you have been granted full access to the portal”. Finally, click “Okay” to continue to your portal.

You should also receive a confirmation message about the phone number verification in the email address you registered with on our platform to fully complete the process.

Please if you encounter any difficulties as regards using this service, or you still have issues accessing your portal, kindly mail to info@smslive247.com or call 08099999247. Our support department are always ready to assist.
