Can I set a custom Sender ID for verification SMS?

No, you cannot set a custom sender ID for SMS verification when using the Verification API, but you can request Sinch to configure a custom sender ID for you. Contact your Sinch Account Manager who will be able to help you set this up.

However, to provide the highest deliverability and verification success rates, Sinch recommend using the already existing optimised sender IDs, which are pre-registered for each market. This ensures that your verification SMS will not be confused as marketing or spam with carriers across the globe and reach your users without fail. You can find additional setup information on Sinch Developer Documentation and learn how to get started with SMS verification.
