Countries supported with Alphanumeric SMS Sender ID

Do you want to add an SMS sender name that presents your company name?
It depends on the countries of your sender and countries of SMS receivers to decide whether it is supported to show custom sender ID or not.
If your country is not supported, or the receiver country is not supported, then sender's name will be AVADA default phone number.

The table below will help you check whether you can set custom sender or not with your country.
Contact AVADA Livechat in-app if you have any trouble setting up your SMS!
