Hi Now SMS Technical Support,

Hope you are all keeping well.

Just had a question. Is there any way to define a sender ID for MMS where the leg out to the SMSC seems to have no Calling Party Address?

Define a "Default Sender Address" under the properties for the SMSC connection.

SMS messages that are generated for MMS notifications are posted by the MMSC with a blank SMS sender address, with the intent that this default sender address is applied.

Thank you for coming back to me. Would this only be used if the sender address was blank and will not override an existing sender address?

I assume there are other applications sending SMS via this same server.

As long as "allow sender address override" is checked, the default value will only be applied for a blank/missing sender. If UNchecked, the default is applied for all.
