Brand registration requires a lot of specific detail, all of which<br>
gets verified and in some cases requires OTP verification using the<br>
brand owner's mobile number, not the number being registered. After<br>
that comes the campaign type, of which there are many but in your case<br>
might be "Low Volume/Mixed". You'd be providing the same information<br>
regardless of carrier.<br>
<br>
If your desire is to avoid brand and campaign registration entirely,<br>
you'll need a carrier with a P2P Exemption that also offers an API,<br>
which might be a contradiction in terms.<br>

For these negligible volumes of purely internal notification traffic, a pure cost centre, not customer-facing anything, etc., I just don't care, and you won't make me care.<br>

There's no decent over-the-top alternative I can see; I have to enable notifications for an over-the-top messaging application as a whole, the last thing I want to do.<br>
