SMS Country regulations and restrictions

Turkey

Turkey boasts a massive and rapidly growing mobile market, with great opportunities for smart marketers. Because Unicode is supported, you’ll have the freedom to send SMS messages using Turkish accents – a great way to connect with your local market. Note that using Unicode reduces the number of characters per message, usually to a maximum of 70 characters. Certain message regulations apply, which you can see in the table below. You can also read more at the Information and Communication Technologies Authority (in Turkish) online.

If you want to start sending messages to one of Europe’s fastest-growing mobile markets, we can help you set up an account. Our sales advisors will ensure that your program is compliant and your messages get delivered. Get in touch now by emailing onlinesales@clickatell.com.
