Displaying an SMS Sender ID Instead of Your SMS Number

Alex Mann Alex Mann

If you would like to send SMS messages with a Sender ID (text) instead of your actual SMS number, this may be something we can accommodate, depending on the countries you are texting to.

This change would apply to all outbound messages sent by all reps on your account. Please bear in mind it would also not allow any textbacks, since your number would not be showing. If you'd like, you can include your direct number in the message body of the SMS.

To start a request to display a Sender ID on SMS, please email to support@kixie.com to request an update to your SMS messages to send as a Sender ID of your choice:
