c# - Fake caller ID on text messages using Twilio (or any other provider) -


Simple question: How can I create a text message using Twilio, or another provider, with fake caller ID ?

I am using

Edit:

I found this company that provides this future, but they are very valuable:

Does anyone know better options?

For the most part, this is a carrier thing. In the US, generally speaking, any SMS traffic should be with a number called 'you' for the API, this will be one or more virtual numbers that you buy.

Outside America - again, generally speaking - what you can use, according to this there is more freedom. However, various APIs can choose to reveal this or not. For example, you can set the sender ID you want with the country / carrier you want.

Which countries / carriers support a dynamic Sender ID, this can be useful (even if you are using a different API).
