Additional TLVs supported

These TLVs are supported only when using SMPP to make requests to Telesign SMS.

Expected values are:

• OTP (for a one-time password)
• MKT (for a marketing message)
• ARN (for an alert, reminder, or notification)

If this field is missing or has an unexpected value, the message is rejected with a 0x000000C3 (Expected TLV missing) or a 0x000000C4 (Invalid TLV Value) error code.
