What are the restrictions when sending messages to Italy?

When sending messages to international destinations text messages can be subject of local restrictions/filtering imposed both at government and local network levels. Unfortunately we cannot influence these decisions so in order to maximise the potential of a successful delivery please follow the regulations. We have listed known restrictions per country but please note that these are not exhaustive and can change as new restrictions are applied – in most cases the local networks do not make notification of changes, we will update restrictions as and when they become known to us.

TIM, Noverca IT, Omnitel, Lycamobile IT, Wind and 3 Italy – Alphanumeric originators must be registered with the AGCOM (Italian Communications Authority). Messages with unregistered alphanumeric originators will be blocked or overwritten with a numeric originator.
