Which message type to use
Typical West Bengal messages and their DLT categories:
| Message | Category & suffix | Channel |
|---|
| Debit alert from a Kolkata bank | Transactional -T | SMS, priority route |
| Tea auction lot result to a garden | Service -S | SMS |
| Shift roster for an Asansol plant | Service -S | SMS; voice SMS in Bengali or Hindi |
| Hospital appointment booked online | Transactional -T | SMS; WhatsApp directions |
| Truck berth slot at Haldia | Service -S | SMS |
| Puja collection launch from a saree store | Promotional -P | SMS in Bengali or RCS, 9 AM-9 PM |
Keep offers out of -T and -S templates; one promotional line turns the whole message into -P. Compare categories on service explicit vs implicit SMS.
