Updated over 3 weeks ago

You can send One-Way messages in Turkey. However, you can't send MMS messages.


Available Sender IDs

You can only send via registered alpha tags in Turkey.

Registration and fees may apply.

Alpha tags

Alpha tags allow you to use your brand name as your Sender ID instead of a number. Recipients cannot reply to messages sent using an alpha tag.

To register an alpha tag, please contact support.

Alpha tag registration ETA: 30 business days.

Registration requirements

  • Your chosen alpha tag (11 characters with no spaces)

  • Company Name, website

  • Sample Message

  • Service Description

  • Traffic Type (transactional/marketing) For marketing, IYS code is required.

  • A copy of the Trade License


Rules and Best Practise

Specific rules for Turkey that must be adhered to:

  • All SMS messages to Turkey must be tagged with the approved sending aggregator code

    • This B-code belongs to the party responsible for the content that is delivered

    • This will mean the total message length is reduced as SinchClickSend will add our approved code

    • The exact content that will be appended when sending via SinchClickSend is " B204" with a space for separation from other content

    • In full-length messages, this will overwrite the last characters as we will not split messages into multiple parts

    • Concatenated messages will be tagged in the last part only

    • You can not append a message on your own with Sinch's code

    • If you have your own approved Turkish aggregator code we can adapt the setup so content is not appended with Sinch's code

  • Binary messages are not supported

  • No short/Bit URL is allowed


Content guidelines

Before sending SMS to Turkey, please review our Sending Guidelines to understand prohibited message types. Additionally, you must adhere to the specific local regulations outlined below:

  • No gambling or betting content

  • No political content
