SMS Sending During Public Holidays: What Does the Law Say?
Sending marketing SMS messages in France during public holidays is regulated.
The LCEN (Law for Confidence in the Digital Economy) of 21/06/2004 stipulates that sending marketing SMS campaigns during public holidays is prohibited, as well as on Sundays.
However, messages of an informative nature can be sent without adhering to these rules (Alerts, appointment confirmations, etc.).
