Identified - Country: United Arab Emirates
Operator: All
Effective date: Already started
Details: Due to increased spam issues, UAE changed the process for local SID registration.
• Customer needs to create an account in the CMS (Consent Management Service - https://cms.etisalat.ae/en/email-account.jsp)) – the application form for the CMS portal needs to be filled out + party details sheet and will then share both documents with Telesign
• Once the CMS team reviews and validates the forms, they will create the account and the credentials will be sent to the customer email given in the application form
NOTE: The party ID (which is needed to apply for the CMS portal) is a unique number that is mentioned in any of the Etisalat bills/invoices. If the customer is already using any of the Etisalat services (e.g. SIM Cards, Telephone, etc.), they will have such a party ID already.
If customers do not have any Etisalat services yet, they need to get a new ID in an Etisalat store.
Sender registration process:
• Upon successful creation of the CMS account, customers can add their local sender IDs on the CMS portal by themselves, along with a filled-out NOC letter
• Customer should share the NOC letter with Telesign, along with a valid Trade License of the brand + a valid passport and Emirates ID of the contact person at the brand (if the authorized signatory doesn’t match the name on the Trade License, signature from a power of attorney on the Trade License should be provided – the objective is to make sure that the NOC is signed by the authorized signatory having a POA or mentioned in the TL).

Details: IMDA (Infocomm Media Development Authority) announced that all organizations that wish to send SMS messages with alphanumeric Sender IDs in Singapore must register their Sender IDs with the SSIR (SMS Sender ID Registry). Only registered Sender IDs will reach Singapore users, with effect from 31 January 2023. The companies can start with the registration from the 31st of October, and the 31st of January is the deadline for all Sender IDs to be registered. From the 31st of January, there will be a six-month transition period where all non-registered SMS Sender IDs will be masked to a Sender ID with the header “Likely-SCAM”. This is akin to a “spam filter and spam bin”. Consumers are advised to exercise caution upon receiving such SMS, as these are non-registered Sender IDs. After 6 months, this Sender ID will be closed and all SMS with Sender IDs that are still not registered by then will be blocked.
The organizations that want to register Sender IDs will register them directly with SSIR. Interested organizations can contact the Singapore Network Information Centre ("SGNIC”) at smsregistry@sgnic.sg to start the registration process. Registration opens on 31 October 2022.

Investigating - Dear customer,
Due to recent changes with Canadian regulations Telesign is making changes to the inbound SMS MO callback parameters. These changes will help you stay compliant with consumer opt-out and response requirements by calling out the needed action to an end-user’s key word.
Specifically, there will be two changes effective as of 11/1/2022:
(1) the Keyword parameter will be replaced with a keyword sent by the end user (such as stop, help, arret, aide, contact, etc. )
(2) A new parameter called Action will be implemented in the callback and will contain actions (start, stop, help, generic) effectively replacing the “old” keyword parameter.
Previous behavior:
- Keyword: Used to contain 4 values: start, stop, help, generic
New behavior:
- Keyword: START, STOP, HELP, ARRET, AIDE, UBSUBCRIBE, CONTACT, CANCEL, INFO, END, etc.
- Action: new parameter will contain actions (start, stop, help, generic) effectively replacing the previous keyword parameter.
