Compliance considerations |
Effective April 25, 2023, dynamic Alphanumeric Sender IDs won’t be allowed in Australia. All Alphanumeric Sender IDs must be pre-registered to send messages in Australia. Messages sent using Alphanumeric Sender IDs that aren’t pre-registered by April 25, 2023 may be blocked. To pre-register with Twilio, head over to https://twlo.my.salesforce-sites.com/SenderId to provide the necessary proof that you are entitled to use the Alphanumeric Sender ID and other documents. Twilio strongly encourages customers to review proposed use cases with qualified legal counsel to ensure they comply with all applicable laws. Sending gambling related content is strictly prohibited in Australia.
