Senders

SMS messages need to have a sender. Though Connect sends the customer a message, Connect purposely does not have an email address. Any message should come from the company creating the campaign. One of the features you need to set up is a sender address for SMS messages and for email messages.

The Senders tab appears when you save the infomation on the Profile tab or when you chose Actions > Edit on the SMPP screen.
