To send SMS in India, all messages must follow TRAI DLT regulations. This guide explains the complete process from registering on DLT to connecting your SMS provider with Testpress using simple steps.

Before sending any SMS, the message templates must be approved by DLT.

• Create SMS templates (example: OTP, login alert, purchase confirmation)

• Ensure the content is clear and matches the purpose

• Submit the templates for DLT approval

Step 3: Purchase an SMS Service Provider

Choose an SMS service provider (such as MSG91, Textlocal, Kaleyra, etc.) who supports DLT-compliant messaging.

• Purchase an SMS plan from the provider

• Ensure the provider supports DLT template mapping

• Collect API details from the SMS provider dashboard

Step 4: Get DLT-Approved Templates Approved by the SMS Provider

The templates approved in DLT must also be added to your SMS provider account.

• Add the same templates that were approved in DLT

• Map each template using:
  
  

  • DLT Template ID
