Changing Sender Number

In the outgoing SMS messages at the 'Sender' field I don't want to indicate my number as the sender's number. Can we replace it with an alias eg.: +393352729228 = "MYCOMPANY" ?

Answer:

This is not possible with mobile originated (MO) SMS messages. In other words if you send out SMS messages from a mobile phone you have no control over the sender field of the SMS message. This information is appended by the SMSC (SMS Service Center) of the GSM service provider.

To be able to modify the sender phone number to a text string, you need to have an IP connection to the service provider. Almost every service provider offers direct IP connection to their SMSC. You can connect to it through a leased line or via the Internet. The communication protocol in this case is CIMD2 or UCP or SMPP.
