Four checks for a Malaysia 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

    Document consent, call purpose, suppression, and complaint handling.

  2. 02

    Verify local CLI and number-registration requirements with the carrier.

  3. 03

    Review personal-data handling before storing recordings or transcripts.

  4. 04

    Test Malay and common code-switching patterns on local mobile networks.

What still needs a carrier answer

Ask a licensed Malaysian provider to confirm local number eligibility, sender identity, and whether the intended automated calling pattern is supported.
