No, SMS messages with non-registered Sender IDs will be blocked and will no longer be delivered to Singapore mobile users after the six-month transition period (i.e. by end July 2023). SMS messages with non-registered Sender IDs sent to Singapore mobile subscribers will be blocked after the six-month transitionary period.

On 31 January 2023, the Infocomm Media Development Authority ("IMDA") implemented the Full SMS Sender ID Registry Regime ("Full SSIR Regime"). The SSIR was set up to enable organisations to protect their customers from receiving fraudulent SMS messages that spoof organisations' SMS Sender IDs.

Under the Full SSIR Regime, organisations that wish to send SMS messages with alphanumeric Sender IDs to Singapore mobile subscribers must first register their Sender IDs with the SSIR. All non-registered Sender IDs will be marked as "Likely-SCAM" for a transitionary period of six months. Thereafter, SMS messages with non-registered Sender IDs will be blocked and not delivered to mobile subscribers in Singapore.

If your company is currently sending SMS messages with alphanumeric Sender IDs to Singapore mobile subscribers, you may wish to register your Sender ID(s) early in order to avoid any disruption to your SMS communications with your customers.

Organisations will need to have a Singapore unique entity number ("UEN") to register for a Sender ID. Foreign-based businesses can obtain a Singapore UEN by registering with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority ("ACRA"). Please contact the Singapore Network Information Centre ("SGNIC") at https://www.sgnic.sg/faq/sms-sender-id-registry for more information on the registration process.

No. In accordance with regulations issued by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) of Singapore, TLS (Transport Layer Security) 1.3 will be mandatory for all connections handling A2P SMS traffic to Singapore, effective 1 April 2026.

As a result, TLS 1.2 and below will no longer be supported for Singapore traffic after this date.

To comply with this regulatory requirement and to avoid any potential service disruption, all customers sending SMS traffic to Singapore must ensure their systems support TLS 1.3 before the effective date.

Required Customer Action: Customers are strongly encouraged to begin migrating to TLS 1.3 for their connections with MOCEAN as soon as possible.

Compliance Deadline: All upgrades must be completed before 1 April 2026, as connections using TLS 1.2 and below will be rejected for Singapore traffic after this date.

Our team is available to support you throughout this transition and to ensure a smooth implementation. Please contact your account manager or our customer support team should you require further clarification or assistance.
