**Account Whitelisting**

If you want to send messages to New Zealand, we need to whitelist your account. Please fill in the pre-approval form on [this page](https://dashboard.messagebird.com/nl/settings/sms) and we will get back to you.

**Operator regulations**

Due to an increase in operator regulations, termination of all SMS towards New Zealand is considered best-effort delivery. This means messages may or not deliver; this is out of our control.

A solution to this would be to procure a dedicated Short Code in New Zealand. This will be the most reliable solution to deliver messages towards New Zealand, irrespective of the network operator. If you are interested in a 1-way or 2-way New Zealand dedicated Short Code, please [reach out to our Support Team](https://bird.com/support-center/inbox-request/new) for pricing and lead time.
