The below sample REST API requests can be inserted and tested via our REST API Simulator in MXT.

Note: The 'Origin' field can be left blank to use a number from the SMSGlobal Shared Numbers Pool. Shared numbers may be strictly prohibited in certain countries as Sender ID or Campaign registration is mandatory. Please ensure you check our Global Sender ID Support

For example:

  • SMS to US only allows an approved US Virtual number for successful SMS, so you cannot use shared numbers.

    • "origin" : "VirtualNumber",
  • SMS to UAE only allows an approved Sender ID for successful SMS, so you cannot use shared numbers.

    • "origin" : "SenderID",
