When sending messages to India, your Twilio phone number will not appear as the sender of the message. This is common when sending SMS across international borders. In the case of India, the sender ID will be changed by the carrier before your SMS messages are delivered to end users. Instead of your Twilio number, end users will see a random short number between 5 and 9 digits long, e., and g.
Also, is Twilio messaging to India affected by India’s DND list?
Messages from Twilio will not be affected by India’s national “Do Not Disturb” (DND) list for SMS. Due to the sender ID change, recipients are unable to send a reply back to your Twilio phone number; SMS messaging to India is 1-way (outbound) only.
