Use the listings below to find Australian suppliers of SMS marketing lists. Most suppliers can also assist with campaign compliance, platform recommendations and ongoing data management.
What is SMS Marketing?
SMS marketing uses text messaging to deliver promotional or informational messages directly to consumers' mobile devices. It is a digital marketing channel — similar to email marketing — that allows organisations to reach customers quickly and at scale.
SMS marketing tends to work best when messages are time-sensitive, such as exclusive offers with expiration dates, appointment reminders, or last-minute event notifications. Most campaigns are run using a bulk SMS platform, which can be purchased or leased, or managed entirely by the list supplier.
Can I Legally Send SMS Marketing Messages in Australia?
Yes — but there are clear rules you must follow. We strongly recommend referring to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), the Privacy Act (1988), the Spam Act (2003) and the Spam Regulations 2021 for the latest requirements. As a guide, all SMS marketing in Australia must:
- Have the consent of recipients before sending
- Clearly identify the sender — either via a sender ID or by starting the message with your business name
- Include a clear and functional unsubscribe option
Note
Breaches of the Spam Act can result in significant penalties. Some exemptions apply for government organisations, charities and certain agencies — always seek your own legal advice to confirm what applies to your situation.
