A Sender ID is a classified as a unique identifier of a message source. Sender ID can either be an alphanumeric value or a phone number, which is based on the outbound country message.

The maximum length for setting a Sender ID cannot exceed more than eleven characters. This limit of characters can vary from one country to another.

Countries (except for India) have the limit of eleven alpha numeric characters.

An SMS can be sent either from a ValueText Sender ID or a dedicated number that can be purchased from us. Prices for Sender ID (numbers) vary from country to country.
