International support for Alphanumeric Sender ID & Registration

This article reflects TCXC's current support capabilities for custom SMS sender IDs, or alphanumeric sender IDs worldwide. 

Note: Some destinations may require registration of the desired alphanumeric sender ID prior to sending messages from this ID. These countries are marked Pre-Registration Required in the table below. In pre-registration countries, delivery quality may be lower for messages sent using a standard SMS-capable phone number, as carriers in these countries often impose carrier filtering on non-registered message traffic.

To start the pre-registration process, please visit the Sender ID registration page, select the country you would like to request an Alphanumeric Sender ID for, and complete the form. If the country you want is not available, please search for the country from the table below)
