Key Takeaways

  • Avoid spammy wording in open-source/docs samples: no fake urgency, no “Unlimited SMS,” no STOP-free blasts.
  • OTP bodies should be short, branded clearly, and free of promo clutter.
  • Consent and STOP belong in campaign copy; the gateway is transport only.
  • Carrier filters and OEM rate ceilings still apply. You bring airtime.
  • Link the OSS cornerstone; this spoke is copy discipline for GitHub/docs samples.

Strike the hype. Keep the code sample boring and compliant-minded.

Why wording gets you filtered

Operators and handset spam features score urgency, money words, and malformed identity. Sample repos that ship “WINNER” strings train your users to fail deliverability on day one.

A README that brags about blasting lists is a liability. Teach consent, pacing, and STOP instead.

Spammy vs operable copy

“Unlimited SMS” / “no limits”Devices + volume; carrier fair-use

Blast without STOPOpt-out handling

OTP templates stay boring

Brand, code, expiry — nothing else. OTP use case.

Bulk needs consent language

Docs samples for CSV/bulk should mention consent and pacing, not growth hacks. Bulk SMS.

No Unlimited SMS theatre

Raise OEM rate ceilings where documented; never claim the platform deletes operator limits. Free is 300 SMS lifetime.

Next steps

Grep your sample repo for “unlimited,” “blast,” and ALL-CAPS bait; replace before the next release tag. Downloads.

Can sample repos promise unlimited SMS?

No. Platform plans meter devices and volume; carriers still bill airtime. Starter, Professional, and Business list Unlimited SMS as platform send volume; that is not unmetered carrier SMS.

Does clean copy include free carrier SMS?

No. On Free and Developer, sending pauses when you use the plan SMS allowance rather than silently billing aggregator-style overage. Upgrade or request a custom allowance to continue. Free is 300 SMS lifetime.
