    You require a Sender ID for all outgoing text messages so that the message source is recognized by your contacts and their countries, telecom networks, and digital channels networks.

    Contact your Voiso Account Manager to create your Sender IDs. After your Voiso Account Manager creates Sender IDs for your contact center.

    Creating Sender ID groups

    After your Voiso Account Manager creates Sender IDs for your contact center, you may create Sender ID groups. Sender ID groups work similarly to the way that Caller ID groups work. You assign one or more Sender IDs to a team, and agents may select only from those Sender IDs when they send a text message.

    1. Click Add Sender ID group to display the Add Sender ID group page.
