Bulk SMS Service in Guwahati
What is a bulk SMS service for businesses in Guwahati?
A bulk SMS service for Guwahati businesses lets tea and trading firms, hospitals, colleges and tourism services send orders, appointments and OTPs to many numbers at once. Messages go through a panel or API on DLT-registered sender IDs, in Assamese, Hindi or English, and reach any active mobile number.
Why SMS works for Guwahati businesses
Guwahati is the commercial and medical hub for the North-East, so patients, traders and students come in from several states. SMS works for all of them, including people in areas where mobile data is slow or patchy.
Assamese, Hindi, Bengali and English are all in daily use, and different customer groups prefer different ones. Keeping a registered template per language lets a hospital or college write to each group in the language it reads.

What you need before sending bulk SMS in Guwahati
These steps are national, so they are the same in Guwahati as anywhere in India.
Entity registration: register your business on TRAI's DLT platform. See DLT registration.
Sender ID and templates: register the header (sender ID) and each message template, including its variables, before you send.
The right message type: OTPs and account alerts are transactional; marketing is promotional and needs consent. See OTP SMS.
Consent and DND: promotional messages respect DND preferences and permitted hours. See DND compliance in India.
Send from the panel or through the SMS API, and track each message with delivery reports. Primary source: TRAI.
SMS templates in English, Assamese, Hindi
Examples only. Words in braces are variables, and every template must be registered on DLT before use. Non-English SMS is sent as Unicode, which fits fewer characters per message part.
English: Report ready
Dear {name}, your {test} report is ready. View it at {link}. - {lab}
In English: A report-ready alert with a link.
Assamese: OTP
আপোনাৰ OTP হৈছে {otp}। ইয়াক কাৰো সৈতে শ্বেয়াৰ নকৰিব।
In English: Your OTP is {otp}. Do not share it with anyone.
