Alphanumeric ID

Your brand name instead of a number, typically up to 11 characters, where the network allows it.

Numeric ID

A long code or short code — falls back to this wherever alphanumeric isn’t supported.

Approval time

Same-day to a few business days, depending on the operator and ID type.

What people send most: OTP and account verification · Order and delivery updates · Appointment and service reminders.

From abroad, replace your exit code with +, then 1721, then the national number — dropping the national trunk prefix if the country uses one (a leading 0 in most, though not in the +1 numbering plan). Store numbers in E.164 (+1721…) and they work from any country and any API.
