SPRK in practice: numbering, sender ID and STOP for SMS in Latvia

SPRK (Public Utilities Commission) supervises Latvia's mobile numbering plan and A2P provider duties towards three local carriers: LMT (Latvijas Mobilais Telefons), Tele2 Latvia and Bite Latvia. 4notify delivers SMS to +371 numbers via tier-1 international A2P gateway, preserving alphanumeric sender ID, automatic STOP/PĀRTRAUKT handling and full audit trail.
