Four checks for a Kuwait launch

Use this as an engineering handoff. Get a written carrier answer and qualified legal review where the call purpose or data handling requires it.

  1. 01

    Map the campaign to CITRA’s user-protection and privacy rules.

  2. 02

    Use an approved business identity and preserve the presented caller number.

  3. 03

    Record consent, suppression, calling time, and campaign owner for each list.

  4. 04

    Obtain a local carrier confirmation before recording or storing calls.

What still needs a carrier answer

Local caller-name and number presentation are carrier-controlled. Ask the serving carrier about CITRA’s caller-name identification requirements.
