You can messages with alphanumeric sender IDs through our web interface, the XML API or the REST API. If you would like to enable this feature in the web interface, please contact us first.

Once you’ve been approved to send messages with alphanumeric IDs, go to Settings > Preferences and you will see the option enabled: 2015-04-01_13h09_46

 

If you would like to change the name displayed, go to Settings > User Profile to change your FIRST name (only what you set as the first name will be displayed as the sender ID).

In XML, use the following code:

AlphanumericSender – the value of tag/element is the company name. The maximum allowed length of the AlphanumericSender value is 11 characters (digits and/or English characters).

  • <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″ ?>
