Sender-ID rules for the SMS leg

  • Every alphanumeric ID requires NTRA + operator approval.
  • Latin or Arabic; one ID per use-case per entity.
  • Foreign senders must terminate via an NTRA-licensed local aggregator.

How Egypt classifies OTP traffic

  • Promotional: consent-based, time-restricted, opt-out mandatory.
  • Transactional: allowed to existing customers; urgent OTP/alerts less restricted.
  • Misclassifying marketing as transactional is a common compliance failure.
  • Keep separate sender IDs/consent records per category.
