What are the types of SenderIDs?

List of Sender ID types:
Promotional vs. Transactional

Promotional senderid is for sending bulk SMS, one message to many numbers.

Transactional senderid is for sending single SMS, one message to one number.

You cannot use Transactional senderid in promotions or bulk SMS. This is against the rules and regulation set by Kuwait telecom companies (MNOs).

Transactional senderids are whitelisted like banks. So even if a number in (DND/blacklisted), the SMS from Transactional senderid will be received.
