Will telecom carriers block or flag my SIM card for sending SMS?

Carriers flag SIM cards when they detect burst traffic or receive user spam complaints. ApnaSandesh enforces a 3.5s to 6s safety throttle between sequential dispatches and automatic opt-out suppression to keep your SIM in complete compliance.

Why is there no cloud dashboard or web login?

By keeping ApnaSandesh 100% on your Android device in a local Room SQLite database, we eliminate server operating costs, avoid user data leaks, and ensure the app works even with mobile data turned off.

Telecom guidelines for message templates

1. Dynamic Token Safety

When substituting names ({name}) or order identifiers, leave 20 to 25 characters of safety margin to ensure long customer names do not spill into a second SMS segment.

2. Transactional vs Promotional Wording

Transactional notices (appointment confirmations, repair pickups, invoice balance notices) enjoy significantly higher open rates and near-zero carrier dispute rates when kept strictly factual and polite.
