Regulatory Framework for SMS in Greece
The telecommunications and data protection landscape in Greece is regulated by EETT / HDPA. Compliance with local A2P SMS regulations is not optional — non-compliant traffic is actively filtered at the carrier level and can result in route blocks, financial penalties, and reputational damage.
Greece enforces GDPR through HDPA. EETT regulates telecommunications. Tourism is Greece’s primary industry, driving significant seasonal SMS volumes.
SBS Telecom’s Compliance & Regulatory Affairs team continuously monitors regulatory changes in Greece and all markets we serve. Our clients benefit from proactive compliance guidance at no additional charge.
