Best practices
Information first, context second
In a group send, the recipient must grasp the essentials in a second. Start with the fact (date, change, alert), then add detail if space allows.
Separate information from marketing
A purely informative message to your members or customers (schedule change, alert) is not commercial prospecting. As soon as it contains an offer, advertising rules apply: consent, STOP opt-out and permitted hours.
Before you send
Mon SMS Gratuit is a personal sending service: one message at a time, with no automation and no bulk sending. A commercial campaign requires a professional platform and compliance with French rules: prior consent from the recipient (GDPR), a free opt-out ("STOP"), clear sender identification, and no sending between 8pm and 8am, on Sundays or public holidays.
Frequently asked questions
How do you send bulk SMS?+
Bulk sending goes through a professional platform that handles recipient lists, personalisation, opt-outs and traceability. It cannot be done from a manual sending service.
Does this service allow group sending?+
No. Mon SMS Gratuit sends one message at a time, with a confirmation delay, and bulk or automated sending is not allowed. You can however use it to find and test your wordings before using them elsewhere.
