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.

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.

Calilio’s customers, including their end users and clients, must comply with applicable laws, regulations, Calilio's policies, including but not limited to, the Calilio Acceptable Use Policy and the Calilio Messaging Policy, and industry standards, including but not limited to, telecommunications providers’ policies.

U.S. telecommunications providers may assess fees for non-compliant A2P traffic, and Calilio will pass these fees onto you. To date, T-Mobile is the first U.S. telecommunications provider to announce non-compliance fees for violations of T-Mobile’s Code of Conduct. Calilio will update these guidelines accordingly if/when additional U.S. telecommunications providers announce non-compliance fees.

T-Mobile non-compliance fees are as follows:

10DLC Long Code Messaging Program Evasion: A $1,000 pass-through fee if a program/campaign is found to be using techniques such as snowshoeing, or unauthorized number replacement/recycling.
Content Violation: After prior warning, a $10,000 pass-through fee may be imposed for each unique instance of content violating the T-Mobile Code of Conduct involving the same sender/content provider. This includes SHAFT (Sex, Hate, Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco) violations, spam, phishing, and messaging that meets the Severity 0 violation as defined in the CTIA Short Code Monitoring Handbook.
