FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Promotional Bulk SMS on CheapBulkSMS.

Promotional SMS is used for marketing — offers, discounts, announcements, and campaigns. It is sent to customers who have opted in to receive commercial communication. Transactional SMS is used for service alerts — OTPs, order confirmations, and account notifications. Promotional SMS is only sent during permitted hours (9AM–9PM) and is filtered against the DND registry. Transactional SMS can be sent 24/7 and is not blocked by DND.

No. TRAI regulations prohibit sending promotional SMS to numbers registered on the DND (Do Not Disturb) registry. CheapBulkSMS automatically screens your contact list against the live DND registry before every send, removing opted-out numbers without any manual effort. This ensures full TRAI compliance on every campaign.

DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) is a TRAI-mandated platform where all businesses must register their entity, sender IDs, and message templates before sending SMS in India. It is mandatory for all promotional and transactional SMS. CheapBulkSMS provides full DLT registration assistance, template submission, and ongoing compliance management as part of our service.

There is no upper limit on promotional campaign size. CheapBulkSMS handles campaigns from a few hundred messages to hundreds of millions. Our infrastructure dispatches at 10,000+ SMS per second, meaning even a 10 million recipient campaign is sent within 15–20 minutes. Volume pricing applies automatically.

Yes. CheapBulkSMS fully supports Unicode encoding for all Indian languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, and Odia. Regional language messages use Unicode which counts as 70 characters per SMS part instead of 160, so our platform clearly shows character counts and credit consumption for each language.

TRAI regulations permit promotional SMS to be sent between 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM only, Monday through Sunday. CheapBulkSMS enforces these time windows automatically. If you schedule a campaign outside permitted hours, it is queued and automatically dispatched at 9:00 AM the next day. Our AI scheduling feature recommends the optimal send time within permitted hours for maximum engagement.

Yes. CheapBulkSMS supports dynamic merge fields so every message can include the recipient's name, city, order details, or any custom variable from your contact list. Personalised promotional SMS consistently achieve 20–30% higher response rates compared to generic broadcasts.

Yes. Every new CheapBulkSMS account includes free trial credits to test the promotional SMS platform — including campaign composition, audience upload, and live delivery reporting. No credit card is required to access the trial. Our DLT assistance team also helps new accounts complete registration before their first live send.
