# Countries & regulation

Messaging rules are set country by country and often cross channels. This section collects the per-country specifics for senders and delivery.

There's no single messaging rule for the whole world: each country sets its own, and
that rule often covers more than one channel at once — a single sender registration
can work for both SMS and RCS to the same country. This section gathers those
per-country specifics. The ones that need more than a note get their own page, and
the list grows as we add coverage.

## Where to check requirements for your sender

The requirements that apply to *your* sender are shown in the panel: open a sender
to see which destinations are approved and which need registration, and use
**Request country** to add one. See
[SMS senders & registration](/platform/en/channels/sms/senders-registration) and
[RCS senders & verification](/platform/en/channels/rcs/senders-verification). If a
country you need isn't listed, contact support.

## What can happen on SMS

**In most destinations there is nothing to do: you create your sender and you send.** That is the case in 105 of the 216 countries we reach. The rest fall into three situations, and the table below tells you which one yours is in.

**Replaced by a number** — The country doesn't accept text names as senders, so your message arrives from a number. There is nothing to register — what you lose is your brand in the sender field, and a [brand prefix](/platform/en/channels/sms/sms-essentials#how-your-sender-appears-abroad) keeps your name visible inside the text.

**Accepted once registered** — The operator requires your sender to be registered before it accepts it as yours. We file it from what you request in the panel. **You can send meanwhile**: until it is approved, messages go out best-effort — sent and billed, but the recipient may see a sender other than yours, and the message can be filtered. Registering is what turns that into your brand arriving.

**Regulator registration** — On top of the operator, a public body is involved, with legal deadlines and a formal filing. The cell names the regulator. Today only Spain, with the CNMC.

> **Note**: The step-by-step for each country — what paperwork it asks for, how long it takes — isn't published for SMS yet. We tell you exactly what is needed while reviewing your registration.

## What RCS registration may ask for

On RCS the sender is always registered per country. What changes is what each market asks for on top — and it comes in a handful of shapes, so knowing them means nothing takes you by surprise, whichever destination you are going to.

#### Authorisation letter

You sign a letter authorising the registration, and return it to us. We attach it to the filing.

#### Brand verification by a third party

An external company contacts your brand to confirm the registration is genuine. If nobody answers, it stalls.

#### Content in the local language

The visible content — and sometimes your legal pages — has to be in the country's language.

#### Keyword opt-out

Contacts must be able to unsubscribe with a word in the local language, and get an immediate confirmation.

#### Local legal entity

Only a company registered in that country can hold the registration. Without one there is no way in.

#### A public inbox somebody watches

The public contact address has to be real and answered — reviewers write to it pretending to be customers.

#### Email to the operator

You send an email to the operator yourself, from the brand, with the text and attachments we give you.

#### Proof of consent

You show where and how you collect the phone number, and what triggers each message.

#### Registration with a regulator

A public body — not the operator — holds a register your sender has to be in.

> **Note**: The **SMS** column uses the situations above. On **RCS** your agent is registered for each country where RCS is available — which is why the column says the same for all of them. Some of those markets also ask for paperwork or verification: [RCS countries & availability](/platform/en/channels/rcs/availability) lists which, and each of them has its own page that spells it out.
