Alphanumeric Sender IDs

Sakari supports the use of Alphanumeric Sender IDs (e.g. your brand name as the sending phone number) in more than 100 countries.  

Alphanumeric Sender IDs are not available in the US/CA

To learn more about sender IDs, please visit our sender IDs support article: Alphanumeric Sender IDs

Shared-pool Number

Shared-pool numbers are random, non-dedicated numbers.  These may be configured to send your message during your trial period, or on paid accounts as a fallback number in the case your number is not configured for the destination country to which you are sending your message.

For Trial Accounts

If you are located outside the US, Canada, or UK, messages sent while on a Sakari Trial account will be from one of the Sakari shared-pool of phone numbers.

Dedicated Short Code

Short codes are dedicated 5 or 6 digit numbers used for sending and receiving SMS and MMS messages, primarily for business purposes like marketing, notifications, and two-factor authentication. They are pre-approved by carriers and offer higher delivery rates than long codes (10-digit numbers). 

Sakari currently supports short code configuration for US traffic only.
