Alphanumeric Sender ID

Alphanumeric Sender ID allows you to send Twilio Programmable SMS messages using a personalized sender name, in supported countries (see International Support for Alphanumeric Sender ID).

Instead of using an E.164 formatted Twilio Phone number for the "From" value, you can use a custom string like your own business' branding.

Note: Additionally, messages sent out using an Alphanumeric Sender ID can not be replied to directly.

Alphanumeric Sender ID requirements

Alphanumeric Sender ID is automatically supported on all new upgraded (paid) Twilio accounts. It is not supported for Free Trial accounts.

You can validate that Alphanumeric Sender is enabled on your account by following these steps:

1. Login to your account at www.twilio.com.
2. From the left side navigation bar, click Programmable SMS.
3. Click Settings.
4. Verify that "Alphanumeric Sender ID" is set to Enabled.
