Invalid Broadcast Time |
Certain Telcos practice timeframe limits to send promotional or marketing messages to mobile subscribers. This is to minimize disturbances at irregular hours. Messages that are sent out of the allowed broadcast time will be listed in the ‘Rejected Log’ for your reference and further action. Messages broadcasted to these mobile numbers will be rejected and logged into this category. |
Opt-Out Log |
If you have sent out messages to mobile subscribers, who have opted out from receiving promotional messages, your broadcasted message will be displayed in the Opt-Out Log. Opt-Out means that the mobile subscriber has decided not to receive further marketing message from the bulk message shortcode, e.g. 66300. Therefore they send an "OUT/KELUAR" request to the same shortcode to terminate the service. This approach stops them from receiving further bulk promotional messages. This Opt-Out option is only applicable for Malaysia Prefix (+60). |
Blacklisted Log |
A Blacklisted Log consists of subscribers who have subscribed to blacklist their numbers in order NOT to receive promotional bulk messages. |
