Twilio SMS: Change the "From" number or Sender ID for Sending SMS Messages
B
Bernardo Gonzalez
Changing the "From" number or Sender ID for outgoing SMS messages can be accomplished by changing the From parameter in your API requests.
For example:
An alphanumeric sender ID of up to 11 characters can be used for sending messages to all supported countries where pre-registration is not required.
Here’s an example cURL script - notice the From parameter updated in line 4.
curl -XPOST https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/Messages.json \
-d "Body=Hello there" \
-d "To=+12685551234" \
-d "From=MyCompany" \
-u 'ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:your_auth_token'

Twilio supports Alphanumeric Sender ID for SMS. It is set when using the API call to them.
Please add a feature where for each SMS channel it is possible to set an Alphanumeric Sender Id.

I feel this is very important.
When we want to invite and onboard new customers, SMS is a guaranteed and cheaper option for some countries ( than whatsapp ).
Every company would want to send the SMS under their own brand. This will look more professional.
