What is the difference between transactional SMS and promotional SMS?


Promotional and transactional SMS is a message types which can be sent by the user to its customers in cloud telephony but there is an issue which is that there are two types of number.

The two number are DND activated and Non-DND activated numbers.

These number are different and have different settings which are set by the TRAI.

So, for this there are two ways in which you can sends messages to your customers that are Transactional SMS and Promotional SMS.

These messages are sent in the services like Bulk SMS which are majorly used in the sending the essential information or promoting the message of product.

But what are the main difference is a follows:-

For better understanding of the difference between the both are as follows

SERVICES
PROMOTIONAL SMS
TRANSACTIONAL SMS
DND
NON- DND
USE CASE
Election campaign, Product promotion.
Bill, Order details etc.
SENDER ID AND OTHER CUSTOMIZATIONS AVAILABLE.

Transactional SMS can be delivered on DND and NON DND numbers.

But on the other hand, promotional messages will be delivered only on NON DND numbers.

The difference also comes in the pricing moreover Transactional messages are more expensive as compared to the promotional SMS.

SMS overall is a good option for promotion and sending essential information since it is reliable and gives a more-better solution to the user with less amount of investing* and getting more money.

Example of the messages
