Changing SMS sender number?

Question

SMS

Is it possible to send an SMS to form a PDU packet of such content that instead of the sender's phone number (approx. [phone]) there is a set of Latin characters (approx. GOOGLE)?
A well-known fact is that SMS sent by the operator, some companies or Google do not come from a number, but from a sender with a name written in Latin characters. Unfortunately, it is not clear whether a packet of such content is formed on the phone (modem) side or on the operator's side. If on the side of the phone (modem), then I want to know how to create a similar PDU package, or how it can be done at all.

Answer 1

The question is understandable, but, unfortunately, everything is not so simple.
Some phones provide such an opportunity, and it even works, the sender's number indicates a custom one, messages reach, are normally read by subscribers, but ... a real number or a fake number will be displayed depending on the phone model of the subscriber who receives messages.

I asked my former colleagues who the SMSC in the operator serve the time, they laughed it off and did not answer. So it is possible that there is such a possibility.

Answer 2

You can implement this by sending SMS from the Internet. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the name of the program that I used 5 years ago for this. Anything can be written in the sender field.
The main thing when searching for this kind of programs / services is to keep your eyes open, tons of trojans, lockers and other rubbish always live somewhere nearby.

Answer 4

The question was the ability to independently change the sender without using third-party services or programs. Or is this possible only by agreement with the operator?

Answer 5

A packet with the name of the sender (often called the alpha name) is formed on the side of the operator (at the SMSC) / or the company of the message sender (in case you use your own SMSC connected via SS-7 (not to be confused with mailers that simply connect to the operator's SMSC via SMPP :)).

There is a yakoon program, it is in Russian, the cost of 1 SMS is about 2 rubles (this was the case before). You can send Cyrillic up to 70 characters, and Latin - up to 140 characters.
