Hi everybody, I'd like to know how does some enterprises to send SMS
with a name as the sender. An example: I've got sometimes sms coming
from "Info (the business name)" instead of the number it comes from,
some help? I'd like to do the same...as you may imagine.

That's not something you can control in messages submitted by a
handset "over the air". In such cases, your true numeric
originator address (OA) is put into the OA field by the message
centre (SMSC) automatically.

The SMSC of lodgement always provides the OA field. But as a
registered client of an independent commercial SMSC using SMPP
to accept your messages lodged "on-line" you may be able to
specify your own alphanumeric OA field.

See http://www.g24.li/?page=sms_features for example (the
"Gateway 16" Originator alphanumeric feature).
