Choosing a Sender ID

Use a name your recipients can recognise.

The preferred Sender ID should be closely connected to the organisation or brand requesting it. Final approval remains subject to the applicable provider/network rules.

Keep it recognisableUse a name customers, students, members or staff already associate with the organisation.
Keep it consistentWhere possible, align it with the registered or trading identity used in the application.
Keep alternatives readyIf the preferred name cannot be approved, AI Tech may ask for an acceptable alternative.

Approval process

Sender ID onboarding follows clear stages.

The process separates enquiry, document review, application processing and operational activation so the client always knows the current stage.

Who does what

Client responsibilities and AI Tech responsibilities are separated.

This helps avoid delays caused by unclear ownership during onboarding.

  • Organisation/business details
  • Required supporting documents
  • Preferred Sender ID
  • Authorised contact person
  • Clarifications when requested

Common questions

What clients usually ask before applying.

Can I choose any Sender ID name?

You can propose a preferred name, but the final Sender ID must meet the applicable naming and approval requirements.

Is approval immediate?

No. Approval depends on the applicable provider/network review and whether all required information is complete.

Can I start using Bulk SMS before Sender ID approval?

Operational sending depends on the account setup and approved messaging configuration. AI Tech confirms what is available during onboarding.

Can several staff use one approved Sender ID?

Yes. Within the AI Tech messaging platform, authorised staff can use approved Sender IDs according to the organisation's access controls.

What if my documents are incomplete?

The application should pause until the required information is complete rather than being submitted with missing details.

Where will I manage onboarding later?

The dedicated AI Tech messaging portal will handle application progress, documents, Sender ID status and activation steps.
