Hi, I've been looking for an option to change the setting for our "Sender Address" and "sent from number." I'd like to recipient of an sms from our NowSMS system to see our name only; not our phone number. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi Pete,

Apologies for the delay as we were quite busy with 3GSM last week, and still working to get caught up.

There is no way to override the sender address when you are sending with a GSM modem. That is a limitation of GSM modem technology. There is no way to insert a sender address when using that protocol ... the sender address is always applied by the operator SMSC when it receives the message to be routed from the modem.

The only way to override a sender address is when you are using an SMS service provider (over TCP/IP) that allows it.
