## Who regulates A2P SMS in Comoros?

Application-to-person messaging to Comoros is overseen by the Autorité Nationale de Régulation des TIC (ANRTIC), which licenses the operators that terminate A2P traffic and sets the conditions those routes run under. BroadNet delivers into Comoros over direct operator connections — Comores Telecom and Telma Comores — rather than through resold or grey routes, so the sender ID, the delivery receipt and the audit trail all come back from the licensed path.

- Direct operator routes: Comores Telecom and Telma Comores.

## Sender ID registration in Comoros

Sender IDs via Comores Telecom and Telma operator routes. Arabic, French, and Comorian supported. Registration is not a formality — an unregistered or mismatched sender ID is the most common reason otherwise-valid traffic is filtered, and the failure is usually silent rather than a hard rejection. Plan 10-14 business days for approval and register before you need the route, not during a launch.

- Lead time: 10-14 business days.

## Consent and content rules

Two-operator market. Routes via aggregator partners. Content compliance per ANRTIC framework. Transactional messages — one-time passcodes, delivery and account alerts — are treated differently from marketing, but the distinction is decided by the content of the message rather than by how the campaign is labelled.

- Operator framework: Sender IDs via operator-aligned route.
- Arabic + French: Both supported.
- ANRTIC framework: PII handling per ANRTIC rules.

## What this means for your integration

Practically, three things decide whether traffic to Comoros performs: a registered sender ID on an ANRTIC-licensed route, a consent and opt-out record you can evidence, and message content that matches the category it was registered under. BroadNet's compliance engine checks each submission against the Comoros ruleset before it reaches the operator, so a non-compliant send is rejected back to you rather than filtered silently downstream — which is the difference between a fixable error and traffic that quietly disappears.

- Every message returns a delivery receipt (DLR); BroadNet does not publish per-country delivery percentages.
- Indicative list pricing: USD 0.06 – 0.09 per message.
- Addressable mobile base: 0.6M subscribers.
- Data handling follows the applicable Comoros privacy regime.
