Hi Community,

Is it possible to send SMS using alphanumeric characters as a sender address?

We tried it using an Open-Source SMS GW and it can send alphanumeric information in the sender address.

Unfortunately, the SMS sent through API was not received to the test phone and the logs below are seen in OSMO-MSC.

We also tried sending SMS with only Numeric information in the sender address and the SMS was received successfully by the test phone.

We can share the traces taken and the configurations used if needed.

TIA.
