Snowshoeing

Author: Anagha Ravi

Snowshoeing involves spreading similar messages across multiple numbers as a way to avoid per number rate limits and volume limitations. Snowshoeing is a common technique used by spammers. Adopting this technique often results in your messages being blocked based on your message content, including your URLs.
