Sender id (from field)
Introduction
A sender id is the number or name you receive the SMS from. Some countries support alphanumeric (letters and numbers) sender ids while others support only numeric sender ids.
Submit as alphanumeric and SMSEdge will auto rewrite to phone number in case not allowed.
To ease on implementation, in SMSEdge you can submit the SMS with any text in the from field. In case the country supports only numbers as sender id, SMSEdge will rewrite your text to a compliant digits field.
Alphanumeric rules
- Up to 11 characters
- Can't contain spaces
Numeric sender id rules
- Must be a telephone number
- Must be in international format (E.164)
- Cannot include + or 00
