If you want to use a numeric Sender ID and the number is not hosted with Notifyre, a request to use the numeric sender ID is required.

Notifyre provides the option to use a non-Notifyre-hosted SMS number as your custom SMS Sender ID.

This Custom Sender ID appears as the 'From' number when you send SMS using Notifyre. 

To use a non-Notifyre hosted SMS number as a Custom SMS Sender ID, Notifyre requires a copy of your latest tax invoice for verification of ownership. 

Submit a request to use a non-Notifyre-hosted Numeric Sender ID: 

  1. Log in to the Notifyre dashboard.
  2. Select Settings on the left navigation.
  3. Select Custom Sender ID from the dropdown menu.
  4. Select Register New  
  5. Under the 'Sender ID Type', select Numeric
  6. Select Next
  7. Enter your desired Sender ID text in the Sender ID field. Enter your mobile number in international format. Maximum of 11 characters. e.g 614XXXXXXXX
  8. In the Use Case Description field, enter a reference description of the intended use for the Sender ID. Eg: Medical Clinic confirming patient appointments.
  9. Review and tick to accept the confirmation. 
  10. Click Submit for Approval.
  11. Your Custom SMS Sender ID request will be sent to Notifyre Support for review. The Notifyre support team will action your request as soon as possible.

💡Custom Numeric Sender IDs may be used when you want to receive SMS replies directly to your mobile device. 

SMS replies within Notifyre are not available when using a custom SMS Sender ID. We recommend purchasing a Notifyre hosted Virtual SMS number to use as a dedicated mobile for sending and/or receiving SMS messages.

Landline numbers cannot be used as a Sender ID for SMS as these messages may get rejected by Mobile Carrier Networks.
