Sender IDs
The name your recipients see.
A sender ID is the name that appears as the sender of your messages, such as MYSHOP. Live messages must use a sender ID that is approved for your account.
Rules
- 3 to 11 characters.
- Letters and digits only, with at least one letter.
- It should clearly identify your business. Names that impersonate others are rejected.
