If the sender ID used is not the brand/company name. MTN requires in the body content something that makes the message unique to the sender such as a company name or brand.
The customer is exposed to fines if:
- Submit marketing traffic outside of the allowed schedule: 8 am to 8 pm local time.
- Submit transactional traffic through SenderID preregistered for marketing.
The marketing SIDs can be requested for registration only if the expected volumes are at least 100K outgoing messages per month to be sent over the MKT bind. Otherwise, those SIDs will be considered and registered as transactional traffic.
