SMS Sender IDs

Utilizing a sender ID enables you to send SMS messages using a recognizable name, such as Ortto, instead of a numerical phone number (e.g., +61412345678). By doing so, your SMS recipients can easily identify you as the sender, potentially leading to improved open rates and enhanced engagement.
