-  * **Origination numbers** – A numeric string that identifies an SMS message sender's phone number. There are several types of origination numbers, including long codes (standard phone numbers that typically have 10 or more digits), 10 digit long codes (10DLC), toll free numbers (TFN) and short codes (phone numbers that contain between four and seven digits). Support for origination numbers is not available in countries where local laws require the use of sender IDs. When you send an SMS message using an origination number, the recipient's device shows the origination number as the sender's phone number. You can specify different origination numbers by use case.

When you send an SMS message using a sender ID, and the recipient is in an area where sender ID authentication is supported, your sender ID appears on the recipient’s device instead of your phone number. A sender ID provides SMS recipients with more information about the sender than a phone number, long code, or short code provides.
