Using SMS for spamming, fraudulent, unsolicited, and obnoxious communication poses a potential threat to the legitimate side of SMS marketing. State-driven regulations, as well as service providers, are equally trying their bit to combat the illegal side of using SMS communication, by extensively analyzing content and sending behavior. As a result, there are few terms and words that the industry largely identifies as part of a spammy message, i.e. Sex, You have Won, etc. With SMSPlus, you are being given this ability to add the terms and words that you don’t want to relay through from the gateway as being spam. Here is the way.
Admin Main Navigation -> Security -> Banned Words
Enter comma-separated words and terms that you don’t want the client accounts to use in the content, e.g. Make Money, Sex, You have Won, etc. The words that you think can potentially be used in a spammy, unsolicited, and fraudulent message. Before the system supplies the client’s message to the gateway for sending, it checks the message content against all the banned words and stops it to relay through the gateway upon finding a banned word/term in the message content. As a result of trying a message with a banned word, an error message will be displayed suggesting the reason for not delivering the message. The client account will be able to see the band words highlighted to eliminate them from the message when trying again.
