## Who regulates A2P SMS in Peru?

Application-to-person messaging to Peru is overseen by the Organismo Supervisor de Inversión Privada en Telecomunicaciones (Osiptel), which licenses the operators that terminate A2P traffic and sets the conditions those routes run under. BroadNet delivers into Peru over direct operator connections — Claro Peru, Movistar Peru, Entel Peru and Bitel — 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.

- Telecoms regulator: Organismo Supervisor de Inversión Privada en Telecomunicaciones (Osiptel).
- Direct operator routes: Claro Peru, Movistar Peru, Entel Peru and Bitel.
- Sender-ID registration: Osiptel + operator sender ID registration. Spanish + Quechua supported in UCS-2.
- Typical lead time: 5-10 business days.

## Sender ID registration in Peru

Osiptel + operator sender ID registration. Spanish + Quechua supported in UCS-2. 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 5-10 business days for approval and register before you need the route, not during a launch.

- Lead time: 5-10 business days.
- BroadNet files sender IDs on your behalf through the Osiptel-licensed operators.
- Spanish + Quechua: Both supported.
- Time to production: Live in 5–15 business days from test-access request to production.

## Consent and content rules

Law 29733 (Personal Data Protection) enforced. 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.

- Osiptel sender ID: Sender IDs registered via operator route.
- Law 29733: Peruvian Personal Data Protection enforced.
- Spanish + Quechua: Both supported.

## What this means for your integration

Practically, three things decide whether traffic to Peru performs: a registered sender ID on an Osiptel-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 Peru 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 0.025 – 0.045 per message.
- Addressable mobile base: 44M subscribers.
- Law 29733: Peruvian Personal Data Protection enforced.
