Sender ID
- Sender ID is the name or number which shows on the recipient's mobile phone when SMS is received.
- Sender ID must be maximum of 10 characters. Allowed characters include 0-9a-zA-Z.
- You can not use your actual mobile number in Sender Id otherwise your SMS will be rejected by the network.
- Sender ID may not always work since it depends on the country and network provider. Please note that it takes 5 working days to activate Sender Id.
SMS Template
The SMS template is used if you use the Send SMS link in Collections Sheets menu of left hand side of page. For example, if you want to send SMS to borrowers whose repayment is due today, the system will use the SMS template and send SMS to those borrowers. Or, let's say you want to send SMS to all overdue borrowers.
The SMS template will replace the placeholders with the actual database records such as borrower name, loan due amount, and your business name.
- SMS Template can not be more than 150 characters including spaces.
- It is recommended that you put your {BusinessName} above so your customers know the origin of the SMS. Some countries and mobile providers do not allow a custom Sender ID and will replace with a generic Sender ID.
