 ====== Setup ======
-A Smishing Campaign is not different from a [[create_your_first_phishing_campaign|regular phishing campaign]]. Most templates can be used in the same way. The difference is only the delivery method: within the scenario (Base Settings --> Scenario Settings --> Message Settings) you can use as a delivery method either "mail" or "sms". Choose "SMS". As a sender, you can put a name or phone number (use always the phone number with the country code: example 49 xxx). The actual phone number should have no "00" and "+" in front, i.e. 41796959611 (41 - Switzerland country code) and not 0041796959611 or +41796959611.

 ====== Known Issues ======
-  * Issues with specific countries: in certain countries, SMS spoofing will not work at all or SMS might only arrive if the sender is using a different country code. For example: in Belgium, the SMS sender will get replaced by a general number like "8850" when using a different country code.
+  * Issues with specific countries: in certain countries, SMS spoofing will not work at all or SMS might only arrive if the sender is using a different country code. For example: in **Belgium**, the SMS sender will get replaced by a general number like "8850" when using a different country code. The **United Arab Emirates (UAE)** has established a considerably rigorous SMS marketing restriction system: registration and activation of the from address (Sender ID) with the operator is required; SMS messages can only be sent between 7AM and 9PM according to UAE standard time.
   * **Issues with Delivery (sender):**This usually means, that your provider did not accept your senders ID. Try different variations to solve this. Example: if your sender number is 0041793531111 (where 0041 is the country code, 79 the prefix and 3531111 the phone number) you could try to send as +41793531111 or 0041793531111 or +41.793531111. If all variations do not work, please leave the sender field empty. Our message provider will then replace it with the default sender name. If the message gets successfully delivered with the default message, you can try to enter your own sender name (e.g. Jon Smith) instead of a phone number.
   * **Issues when spoofing with same provider**: Spoofing a message within same provider within the same country might not work. For example: if you want to send a spoofed message from a cell phone using “o2” to another cell phone using “o2” the message won't arrive. But if you send the same message from a phone using “telekom” to a cell phone using “o2” it will work
