Country-specific Features

Countries have different technical standards and restrictions around the SMS standard. Different SMS implementations in different markets and territories can affect your SMS campaign.

Features

Before you start your messaging campaign you may need to check if the following features are supported in the countries and locations you are sending messages to:

• Alphanumeric Sender IDs - The Sender ID is the number or text shown on a handset when it displays a message. You may be able to set a custom Sender ID to better represent your brand.
• Concatenation & Encoding - When you send SMS with Vonage you should be aware of how many parts your message is being sent as and what encoding is required to send your message.
