| Country regulations | Promo/marketing traffic is strictly regulated with the high penalties and restrictive measures for not following all regulations. More info: https://www.consumerprotection.govt.nz/general-help/consumer-laws/online-safety-laws-and-rules/. Opt-in and Opt-out options are required for promo/marketing messages and two-way communication. Sometimes, even if the client manages to submit a decent proof of Opt-In, the MNO's tend to ask for an immediate block of certain traffic content. Usually, gambling traffic (even from more established online services) tends to be blocked in these situations for the preservation of our connections. |
| Country restrictions | Spam, political, religious, and adult content is strictly forbidden. The Gambling Act of 2003 bans online gambling with the exception of some strictly regulated lotteries and sports betting games. The government of New Zealand has not prohibited the use of foreign gambling websites for its citizens and allows players to use them freely. The New Zealand Gambling Act nor any other New Zealand's law makes using overseas gambling websites a crime, but is illegal to advertise these websites and the penalty is $5,000 per offense. |
| Country recommendations | Infobip highly recommends not to send promo/marketing traffic on New Zealand. Namely, because of the strict regulations and situations where the supplier can lose expensive Short Codes in case of any unwanted traffic appears. |

Effective immediately, Chinese telecom operators have implemented stricter content controls over SMS. Chinese networks, together with all administrative regions in China, are now directed to quickly enforce stringent regulations on SMS content, including cleaning and purifying the short message service market environment. Violations can result in heavy fines and disconnection. Customers sending messages to, from, or within China must comply with all applicable laws and regulations.  Generally, China messaging restrictions prohibit: - URLs in the content - Political, pornographic, or fraudulent content which is deemed illegal in China - Finance-related content, including any form or hint of marketing and or promotional messages from banks, insurance companies, loans, credit cards, securities, stocks, crude oil, futures, cryptocurrency, and gold - Marketing/promo traffic regarding real estate, stocks, loans, investment banking, education, immigration, politics, adult supplies, pornography, violence, gambling, and other illegal information - Messages that directly violate China's law and constitution - Any messages that can be considered harmful to its citizens' morality and public order - Any messages promoting gambling, alcohol, tobacco, and certain health products Due to the existing regulations, there is a possibility of traffic blocking occurring randomly and without prior notice. This may have an impact on legitimate and registered customer traffic. As a result of these potential disruptions, Infobip is committed to guaranteeing traffic on a best-effort basis. As for those getting blocked, we may at some point require you to provide supporting documents, including Chinese-issued documents as proof of business and economic activity in China. It is important to note that these regulations are subject to change at any time, and such changes could result in significant disruptions that may impact the reliability of our services. We understand the importance of maintaining seamless communication and are dedicated to ensuring minimal impact on our customers during such occurrences. |
