## What this country needs

### SMS

- **Your sender** — An alphanumeric sender is replaced by a number on delivery, so your brand doesn't travel as the sender. A [brand prefix](/platform/en/channels/sms/sms-essentials#how-your-sender-appears-abroad) keeps your name visible in the text.
- No registration needed — creating the sender is enough.
- Operators here restrict links inside an SMS. If your campaign carries one, check with us before a large send.

### RCS

- **What they ask for** — Content in the local language
- **Who acts** — We handle it. Nothing for you to do.
- **Have this ready** — Description, contact labels and visible content in Spanish
- **Without an approved registration** — Nothing is sent to this country until the registration is approved.

The agent's public name can stay in English, but **the description, the contact labels and the
rest of the visible content have to be in Spanish**.
