You may have these questions

A targeted SMS campaign is the sending of messages to filtered customer categories. Database segmentation takes audience interests and characteristics into account. This approach increases response rates because people receive relevant offers.

A mass SMS campaign can work with filters, while a regular campaign is sent to the entire database. In the first option, you can choose gender, city, purchases or activity. As a result, the message reaches the target more accurately and increases conversion.

The mechanism of a targeted SMS campaign is based on customer data. CRM, geolocation, purchase history and funnel actions are used. Audience behavior in the system undergoes detailed analysis. As a result, SMS messages are sent only to relevant segments.

The cost of an SMS campaign for business is formed based on several parameters. Database size, segmentation depth, sending frequency and additional services all matter. The more precise the setup, the higher the price per contact.

Yes, Stream Telecom provides the option to run mass SMS campaigns. You can upload your own numbers and segments. This is convenient for companies that already have a customer database and configured recipient groups.

The SMS campaign service has certain restrictions. The law prohibits night-time sending — a “quiet period” applies. You can also control frequency so messages do not look like spam.

Targeted SMS campaigns are suitable for businesses of any size. They are used by local companies, online stores and large chains. This is an effective tool for promoting goods and services.

SMS campaigns for business are 100% legal. Lifecell, Kyivstar and Vodafone are the largest operators in Ukraine, with 32+ million subscribers combined. Their databases for SMS advertising are collected through:

  • consents when activating tariff plans;
  • promotions;
  • mobile applications.

Operators comply with the Laws of Ukraine “On Information” and “On Personal Data Protection” and do not transfer or sell subscribers’ personal data to third parties, including call recordings, SMS/MMS texts or browsing history. All Big Data analytical models are built using depersonalized and encrypted data.

 

We are already connected to the systems of Lifecell, Kyivstar and Vodafone. You do not need to spend weeks registering and approving everything in three separate accounts and systems — we will do it in 1 day. Operators trust us, as do 50+ of our clients.

  1. SMS text: Latin characters, maximum message length 160 characters. Cyrillic characters, maximum message length 70 characters.
  2. The message text must comply with Ukrainian legislation.
  3. You must provide a callback number for the help center, where subscribers can clarify information or opt out of automated SMS campaigns to their numbers.

It all depends on your task. On average, the timelines are:

  • Up to three days to discuss your task and complete the brief.
  • Up to three days for operator data approval.
  • One day to launch the SMS campaign using the database and receive the report.

From 1 day if the template is approved by the operators. Up to 3 days if edits are needed.

  • Deliverability is 100%: operators guarantee delivery if the number is active and the subscriber is within coverage.
  • You pay only for delivered SMS. If the SMS campaign software confirms non-delivery, we do not charge for those messages.
  • If the phone campaign does not pass operator moderation, for example because of spam-like wording, we will help rewrite the text for free and provide ready-made templates.

You receive an Excel report: campaign date, number of sent/delivered SMS, price per SMS and total campaign cost.

For more detailed analytics, you can connect third-party services to track the effectiveness of UTM tags and use temporary promo codes.

Accuracy depends on the data operators provide for targeting:

  • SMS campaign by geolocation: maximum accuracy at city/district level.
  • Age/gender: about 70–80% accuracy, based on subscriber profile data.
  • Sending time: 100% accuracy — you choose the hours.

How we do it:

  • Operators filter their databases according to your criteria.
  • You receive a reach report before launch so you can adjust the parameters.

Tip:

  • Start with broad targeting, for example the whole city, then narrow it based on report data.
  • Use A/B tests: send different messages to two audience groups.

No. This information is confidential and belongs to the operators, so in the report you receive only a number range in the format +38 096 700-XX-XX.

SMS advertising will be sent to mobile operator subscribers who have consented to receive messages. Operators take numbers for campaigns from their own subscriber databases of users who agreed to receive advertising. These numbers are not stored by Stream Telecom.

You do not need to additionally obtain subscribers’ consent to send SMS on behalf of your company. Campaigns use numbers from mobile operator databases. The SMS service sends messages only to subscribers who have consented to receive advertising. Most often, such consent is given before using operator services.

At the moment, the SMS sending service works only for subscribers of Ukrainian mobile operators. According to operator requirements, your business must also be registered or have a representative office in Ukraine.
