SMS Regulations in South Africa:
South Africa has a robust and strict regulatory environment when it comes to the mobile messaging industry. The Wireless Application Service Providers’ Association (WASPA) is a self-regulating body and offers the WASPA Code of Conduct that we, as a WASP are required to adhere to. This Code of Conduct also offers guidance on the key requirements for SMS marketing, as well as key requirements for premium rated services, otherwise known as SMS Shortcodes.

Companies sending promotional SMS messages using normal bulk messaging accounts don’t generally cover the costs of SMS replies. But now, companies operating in certain industries legally have to.
