Thanks to a sender name (also known as sender ID), your clients will see your business name instead of the phone number in the messages sent via Versum. This way you can brand and personalise your communication with clients.
Note: If you send messages with the sender name active, recipients will not be able to respond to such messages. Remember to include a contact number in the message.
