Regulatory Framework for SMS in Spain
The telecommunications and data protection landscape in Spain is regulated by CNMC / AEPD. 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.
Spain enforces GDPR through the AEPD. Opt-in consent is required for marketing communications. The LSSI (Law of Information Society Services) additionally regulates electronic communications.
SBS Telecom’s Compliance & Regulatory Affairs team continuously monitors regulatory changes in Spain and all markets we serve. Our clients benefit from proactive compliance guidance at no additional charge.
