Question

Can I send anonymous SMS?

Answer

If by 'anonymous' you mean the sending of an SMS without an originator, this is not possible as originators face length-based limitations which do not allow for this.

If by 'anonymous' you mean the sending of MT SMS that disguises your identity, this is possible.

However:

  • It is against our Usage Policy to "mislead others as to the identity of the sender of your messages."
  • 'Pranks' (for example) can have serious consequences.
