Sender ID can be used for both SMS OTP and SMS Announcement service so you only need to submit the form once. Registration to operators usually takes about 14 working days to be fully ready to use. Please make sure to fill out the form correctly.

Additionally, for every OTP SMS delivery, the brand/service/program/community name must be included in the message format, as per the submitted Sender ID application. This step is intended to reduce the misuse of local Sender IDs for international traffic delivery. Failure to include the appropriate name may result in an automatic system block of the Sender ID, particularly if it is found to be sending international A2P SMS. Local operators has also emphasized the importance of maintaining the A2P SMS Customer Experience and will conduct regular SID Misuse Probing for International Traffic as part of their SID Lifecycle Management.
