Singapore: SMS Guideline

27 January 2026

Important Notice: Mandatory Upgrade to TLS 1.3 for Singapore A2P SMS Traffic

The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) of Singapore has mandated the use of TLS (Transport Layer Security) 1.3 for all connections handling A2P SMS traffic, effective 1 April 2026.

To comply with this regulatory requirement and to avoid any potential service disruption, all customers sending SMS traffic to Singapore must ensure their systems support TLS 1.3 before the effective date.

Required Customer Action:
Customers are strongly encouraged to begin migrating to TLS 1.3 for their connections with MOCEAN as soon as possible.

Compliance Deadline:
In accordance with IMDA regulations, TLS 1.2 and below will no longer be supported for Singapore traffic after 1 April 2026.

To prevent any interruption to SMS delivery to Singapore, all required upgrades must be completed prior to this date.

Our team is available to support you throughout this transition and to ensure a smooth implementation. Please contact your account manager or our customer support team should you require further clarification or assistance.

15 August 2025

Due to the rise in spam and smishing SMS in Singapore, the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) launched the Full SMS Sender ID Registry (SSIR). Organizations must register their Sender IDs with SGNIC.

Since 31 January 2023, registration is mandatory. Unregistered Sender IDs will be shown as “Likely-SCAM”. For details, visit: https://www.sgnic.sg/smsregistry/overview.

Register your Sender IDs with SGNIC as soon as possible to avoid disruption. When registering, please select MOCEAN PTE. LTD. as Participating Aggregator. If you have any questions during the process, feel free to contact us.
