Sending text messages via the Internet: legislation to follow

SMS has become a powerful communication service. Responsible use of this tool is essential. Consequently, French legislation has established rules regarding the sending of commercial text messages. Under the opt-in rule, customer consent is mandatory before sending them a message. The recipient must have explicitly agreed to receive communications on their mobile device. Exceptions apply if the recipient is already your customer, if the products and services offered are similar to yours, or if the information sent via mobile is non-commercial, such as for a charitable campaign. When collecting phone numbers, you must inform your contact that their number will be used for information and prospecting purposes. They must also be informed that they can object and request to be removed from mailing lists, depending on the service used. When sending messages, you must explicitly state your name, brand, or product to avoid being flagged as spam. Each of your messages must include a "STOP" option, allowing recipients to opt out of receiving marketing text messages on their mobile phones.
