18 June 2026 Online

A live walkthrough of the latest A2P SMS rules across the Gulf — the UAE telemarketing rules (Cabinet Resolution No. 56 of 2024), Saudi sender-ID registration, and what enterprises must change before their next campaign.

## About this event

Regulators across the GCC have tightened A2P SMS governance significantly over the past two years. In this 60-minute webinar, BroadNet's Regulatory Affairs team broke down what is now mandatory: alphanumeric sender-ID registration with the UAE's TDRA and Saudi Arabia's CST, the AD- prefix and time-window rules for promotional content, and the routing requirements that determine whether a correctly registered message actually arrives. The session closed with a live Q&A on edge cases: foreign entities, marketing-vs-transactional classification, and penalty exposure.

## On the agenda

- UAE Cabinet Resolution No. 56 of 2024 (telemarketing)
- Saudi CST sender-ID registration
- Promotional vs transactional classification
- Sender-ID approval timelines
- Penalty exposure & enforcement trends
