URGENT ACTION REQURED - SMS sent to USA need pre-registered sender IDPlanned Maintenance

Description

Dear Customers, recently we have been informed by our suppliers, that new government regulations apply to all SMS traffic sent to the United States beginning February 2022. In detail, all International A2P SMS services, will require a numeric Sender ID pre-registration starting 01.01.2022 and have to be completed 31.01.2022! This means, that all messages sent with an unregistered Sender ID will fail beginning 1. February 2022! If you already have a registered short/long code purchased with us, a Retarus tech should contact your company by the end of this week to help you either replacing it or pre-registering the existing one. ALL CUSTOMERS NOT PURCHASED A SHORT/LONG CODE FROM RETARUS: Retarus will try to mitigate this issue by rerouting customers to a general short code. However, even small unregistered traffic (<100 SMS/month) is not guaranteed to work within our SLAs and since it’s a government regulation, we have no influence on the success of this measure. Therefore, we highly recommend contacting your account manager to discuss the options to get a dedicated short/long code from Retarus. Short version/FAQ: What changes? From February 1st 2022 new government regulations mandate, that all international A2P SMS traffic (like Retarus Outbound SMS services) toward United states has to use a pre-registered Sender ID. Who is affected? All Retarus customers sending SMS to the US using our Outbound SMS services e.g Mail2SMS, SMS4Rest/Soap. Customers sending SMS to other countries and not to the USA are NOT affected by this. Do I have to do something if I already purchased a dedicated short/long code from Retarus? Retarus will try to contact all customers already having a dedicated short/long code by the end of this week. If you do not get contacted until then, please contact your account manager! Do I have to do something if I have no dedicated short/long code with Retarus? Retarus will try to mitigate this issue by rerouting customers to a general short code. However, even small unregistered traffic (<100 SMS/month) is not guaranteed to work within our SLAs and since it’s a government regulation, we have no influence on the success of this measure. Therefore, we highly recommend contacting your account manager to discuss the options to get a dedicated short/long code from Retarus. Why do I get informed so late? Retarus itself was just recently informed about these new regulations published by the US authorities
