SMS sender IDs

Let your name
lead the message.

Give customers a clear signal about who is reaching them. Choose an available public sender or request a branded sender ID for your business, then use it across your Textly campaigns and API sends.

Start with the sender
that fits your business.

Both sender options live in the same workspace, so your team can choose an available identity when preparing a send.

Public sender

Use an available shared sender for eligible messages and accounts. Availability depends on the destination and use case.

Good to know
before you apply.

Sender registration rules can differ by network and message category. We confirm the applicable details for your request.

Can I send while my branded ID is pending?

An approved sender is required for sending. An available public sender may be an option for your account and use case.

Is approval immediate?

Review time varies. Your workspace shows the request status, and you can use the sender once it is approved.

Are there sender ID charges?

Any registration charges and requirements are confirmed before you apply. See the pricing page for how message charges work.
