We would like to bring our customer's attention to the fact that we will be changing the format of broadcastID's and smsID's as follows:

1. MT SMS
   The existing format of broadcastID's (i.e. 32 alphanumeric characters) is going to be replaced with the 2 letters "MT" followed by 10 numeric characters (e.g. MT0017295001) and this will therefore effect the smsID's of MT SMS (e.g. MT0017295001-1).
2. MO SMS
   The existing format of MO smsID's (i.e. 32 alphanumeric characters) is going to be replaced with the 2 letters "MO" followed by 10 numeric characters (e.g. MO0017295001).

These changes are due to take place on 7 June 2006 and we are bringing this to the attention of our customers, especially users of our SMS API, because of the way in which customers may be handling/parsing smsID's; applications which would not be able to parse these new formats should be modified before the switch date so that either format is acceptable.

For a temporary period, we will also put in place a "lookup" tool which will return the new equivalent of old smsID's and details of this will follow at the time when the switch has been made.
