Compliance considerations
Calilio strongly encourages customers to review proposed use cases with qualified legal counsel to make sure that they comply with all applicable laws. This table lists some general best practices.

All SMS messages sent via domestic Sender IDs to Indonesia must include a brand name, service program, or community in the message body in order to avoid rejection of message. This requirement aligns with Calilio's ongoing commitment to ensuring compliance in Indonesia.

Message delivery to M2M numbers is on best effort basis only.

Sending firearms, gambling, adult content, political, religious, controlled substance, cannabis, and alcohol related content is strictly prohibited. It is best practice not to include phone numbers in message body. Calilio strongly encourages customers to review proposed use cases with qualified legal counsel to make sure that they comply with all applicable laws.

The following are some general best practices:

  1. Get opt-in consent from each end user before sending any communication to them, particular for marketing or other non-essential communications.
  2. Only communicate during an end user's daytime hours unless it is urgent.
  3. SMS campaigns should support HELP/STOP messages, and similar messages, in the end user's local language.
  4. Do not contact end users on do-not-call or do-not-disturb registries.
