How to Send SMS with Your Company Name as SenderID
If you’re looking to send SMS messages with your company name? an Alphanumeric Sender ID may be just what you need. This allows you to set your company name or brand as the Sender ID when sending one-way SMS messages to supported countries. Alphanumeric Sender IDs may be up to 11 characters, and can include both upper- and lower-case ASCII letters, the digits 0 through 9, and spaces. However, they cannot consist solely of numbers.
To begin, it’s necessary to register your custom Sender ID with your mobile service provider. As a result, when your customers receive an SMS from you, they’ll view your company name or brand as the sender, instead of a phone number.
One important distinction between sender ID’s and short codes is that with Sender ID’s, users will not be able to reply to that sender id. Also, note that Sender ID’s are case sensitive. Once you purchase a Sender ID, you will have the option of using it as the sender id for messages originating from your account.
