Bulk SMS to the United Kingdom

Tier-1 routes, sender ID protection registry, GDPR and PECR handled

The UK has no licensing regime for SMS, which makes it easy to start and easy to get wrong. The constraints are consent under PECR and GDPR, and the MEF Sender ID Protection Registry, which increasingly blocks unregistered alphanumeric senders that resemble protected brands. We register your sender and keep your consent evidence defensible.

Typical timeline

What is included for the United Kingdom

Tier-1 routes, sender ID protection registry, GDPR and PECR handled

Sender ID registration

Listed on the MEF Sender ID Protection Registry so your brand sender is not filtered as a spoof, and so nobody else can send as you.

Tier-1 routes only

Direct connections to EE, O2, Vodafone and Three via tier-1 partners. No grey routing into the UK, which is heavily filtered.

PECR-compliant consent

Marketing SMS requires prior consent or a narrow soft opt-in. We set up consent capture and keep the evidence trail the ICO would ask for.

Opt-out handling

STOP keyword processing with automatic suppression, which PECR requires on every marketing message.

Two-way and long numbers

UK virtual long numbers and short codes for replies, surveys and customer service.

Fast launch

No regulator filing means live in two to three working days once the sender is registered.

Indicative rate for the United Kingdom

Where you land inside the band depends on monthly volume, message category and route type.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

There is no legal requirement, but the MEF registry increasingly determines whether an alphanumeric sender is delivered or filtered. We recommend it for anyone sending regularly and we handle the listing.

Marketing SMS needs prior opt-in, or the soft opt-in where the person bought from you and was offered an opt-out at the time. Transactional and service messages are different. We help you classify correctly.

₹2.40 to ₹4.00 per SMS depending on volume. UK operators charge a termination fee that sets the floor, so very cheap UK rates usually signal a grey route.
