Chinese Mainland SMS Qualifications

You need to submit related qualifications before applying for a signature for the Chinese mainland SMS. When you create a signature, you can associate the signature with the signature owner's approved qualifications.

Background

  • According to related national policies, SMS users need to report their qualifications before sending SMSs.
  • Currently, only SMSs sent to the Chinese mainland support qualification management.

Prerequisites

  • You have registered a Huawei enterprise account and completed enterprise real-name authentication.
    • Procedure: Register an account, complete basic user information, bind an email address and a mobile number, and complete enterprise real-name authentication.
    • The real-name authentication review will be completed within 1 to 3 working days. The authentication is complete after the review is complete.
  • You have enabled Message & SMS.
  • You have prepared qualification documents in advance.

Adding a Qualification

If the full name of the enterprise or institution corresponding to the signature is the same as the real-name authenticated name of the current Huawei Cloud account, apply for the self-use qualification. Otherwise, apply for the third-party business usage qualification and upload the power of attorney.

The enterprise name in the qualification is the name used for the account real-name authentication.
