See the following sections for more information about specific channels.
Submit a request for SMS senders
You can request a number and buy it directly or request an Alphanumeric Sender ID, either over the web interface or over API.
When requesting an Alphanumeric Sender ID, the CPaaS Registration team receives a ticket. The team checks that you have SMS in your product catalog and then your Alphanumeric sender registration proceeds directly.
For Alphanumeric Senders, there may be a charge for each request.
If you do not have SMS in your product catalog enabled, the CPaaS Registration Team assessed eligibility and may discuss your needs with you before enabling SMS in your product catalog.
When you select a country, you are presented with dynamic form that is specific for every combination of country and channel or sender within that target country. These country-specific forms direct you to the most relevant information on the request submission to improve the time to achieve successful registration. You need to provide details about your company and business, and the purpose of the planned messages.
Country-specific forms are available for most countries, with the exception of the following countries, which use a general form:
Indonesia, Myanmar, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, and Vietnam.
Submit a request for WhatsApp, Email, Voice, Apple Messages, Telegram, Instagram
For these channels, when you submit a request, it does not require the assistance of the CPaaS Registration Team because:
- Embedded sign up can be administered without escalation
- Managing senders and domains is self-serviceable for Email once the app or card is visible
- Buying a number with Voice capability is possible using the Numbers app
During the request procedure, you have the opportunity to discuss your commercial terms and the sender registration process. You may have a Solution Engineer appointed and your product catalog is updated and activated. The channel or sender is then ready to use.
Submit a request for RCS, Viber, Zalo, LINE, KakaoTalk
For these channels, when you submit a request, a ticket is created and sent to the CPaaS Registration team.
During the request procedure, the CPaaS Registration Team works through the registration process with you and may appoint a Solution Engineer, if needed. Your product catalog is updated and activated, and the channel or sender is then ready to use.
You are notified when the registration is completed.
