Key requirements include registering your messaging use case (A2P 10DLC for US-bound traffic), honoring opt-outs (STOP keywords), and not sending messages to recipients on the TCPA Do-Not-Call Registry.

- Issue a warning and require corrective action
- Temporarily suspend your SMS capabilities or account
- Permanently terminate your account without refund
- Report the activity to relevant authorities where legally required
We will make reasonable efforts to notify you before taking action unless the violation poses an immediate risk to others or the platform.
