DLT registration SMSIntegra- Textlocal

Important regulatory changes going live on 19th October, 2020:
In line with implementation of TCCCPR 2018 regulations, telecom operators have shared the following changes that will go live on 19th October, 2020. If your messages do not comply with these changes, they will be blocked by the operator.
All SMS (promotional and transactional) must be sent via DLT-approved headers only.
Entity ID/Registration ID is mandatory to be passed along with header and message details. If you have not shared your Entity ID with us yet, please add it in your Textlocal account by following this process: Login in to your Textlocal account > Settings > Your Profile > Principal Entity/Registration ID.
Note: Delivery Receipts are no longer provided by operators for promotional sends. Delivery status for all promo SMS submitted to operators will be shown as ‘Pushed’ initially and changed to ‘Expired’ after 48 hours due to lack of Delivery Receipts. No credits are deducted for numbers in “in DND” status in reports as always.
*These changes have not gone live yet. But, we expect them to go live anytime. We will update as and when we receive further communication from operators.
After the above mentioned changes go live on 19th, the next phase will involve template registration.
DLT Template Registration: In the next phase of DLT (expected to go live anytime after 19th), you will be required to add content templates in the DLT platform and send only messages that match these DLT-approved templates. Any SMS send that doesn’t match these DLT-approved templates will be blocked by telecom operators post go-live. Please see the detailed process to add templates in the DLT platforms in Step 5 below.
Adding DLT templates in Textlocal platform: You will need to add these DLT templates in Textlocal platform as well so that Textlocal can pass along all the other required parameters (template ID, PE ID) to DLT portals. This will ensure we can fetch these parameters from your account without requiring you to change your current APIs. Please see the detailed process to add templates in Textlocal in Step 6 below.
According to new guidelines shared by operators, all content templates must include your brand name/complete business name/trademark in the message footer. Content templates that do not include brand names will be rejected after 31st October, 2020. See how to add brand names to your templates.

Step 3 – Register Headers & Add Telemarketer

Once your headers are approved, please email your Unique Entity ID along with a screenshot of your DLT account displaying the approved headers to support@textlocal.in.
There are 2 types of Headers to choose from – Promotional & Others
Others (for campaigns transactional in nature like updates, notifications etc.):
Add the Headers (sender names) approved for your organization in Textlocal in the text box > Justify the headers by mentioning the reason for choosing the header in the description box below or attaching a document > Submit
Promotional (for campaigns promotional in nature like offers, discounts, etc.):
Add preferred 6-digit numeric sender ID in the ‘Find your Header’ text box > Select your category/industry type from the drop-down > Justify the headers by mentioning the reason for choosing the header in the description box below or attaching a document > Submit
Note
According to new regulations, all commercial SMS traffic, including promotional SMS, needs to be routed only from your DLT-registered headers. While your promotional SMS continues to be sent for now via a common 6-digit header, we strongly urge you to register both promotional headers and transactional (‘Other’) headers, and avoid disruptions when the next phase of DLT implementation goes live (can happen anytime).
Headers (Sender names) are case-sensitive i.e. ABCDEF and abcdef are two different sender names and can be registered separately.
Applicable only for Header type ‘Others’: The Header selected by you should match the entity name. If the header name is different,
For Videocon: Please attach a document/image showing the website link, trademark certificate or any other document/image proving the relation between your entity name and your requested header.
For VIL/BSNL: Please mention the website link, trademark certificate or any other reference proving the relation between your entity name and your requested header. Also, mention your mobile number in the description to facilitate a call back by the DLT support team for any clarifications.
