Benefits 

  • Higher message deliverability:
    Twilio handles fluctuating telecom logic, regulations, and carrier-specific rules to ensure your messages reach their destination
  • Improved brand recognition: 

    Because recipients see your name with every SMS sent, using a recognizable Alphanumeric Sender ID reinforces your branding.

  • Increased open rates:
     With Alphanumeric Sender IDs, recipients immediately recognize the sender and know the message is legitimate. As a  result, they are up to 80% more likely to open the message.
