Use cases: For A2P SMS traffic types we apply 4 use cases Alerts / Marketing & Promotions / Reminders / Security (including One-Time Passwords (OTP)
Traffic splits: We have now identified 6 traffic types, no longer just white & grey. 1) White route traffic – legitimate / 2) Light blue route traffic – artifically inflated traffic (undelivered, phantom traffic, no consumer impact) / 3) Dark blue route traffic – artifically inflated traffic (delivered, consumer impacted) / 4) Grey route traffic – harmless (no threat to consumer) / 5) Orange route traffic – SIM Farm traffic (harmful aftershocks, potential threat to consumers) / 6) Red route traffic – harmful (Threat to consumer). In addition, we also break all traffic types out by: Domestic / International / Wholesale / Retail / Total traffic. Traffic data is then segmented further by country / MNO / source / route / vertical / use case / opt in.
Spend: Our spend data is based on our traffic data, and follows the same splits as above. To achieve spend figures for each market, we apply the relevant SMS rates per market that we receive through our extensive on-going research. We also split out spend by value chain: Mobile operators / aggregators. We further split our spend by Annual Spend – split by Country, MNO, Source, Route, Value Chain & Value / Average Spend per User – split by Country, MNO, Source, Route, Value Chain & Value / Annual Spend – split by Country, Vertical & Use Case / Average Spend per SMS Opt-in – split by Country, Vertical & Use Case. Finally, we also look at the impact of fraud on A2P SMS spend, and how this impacts the overall market, with lost spend / potential spend per user.
