Use a local 10DLC long code, toll-free number, or short code when customers need to reply, or claim a branded alphanumeric sender ID for one-way alerts and verification codes. Bird shows you which sender types each country accepts and guides you through carrier registration before you send.

Compare US sender options, two-way reply support, and required carrier registrations.
Explore SMS sendersDifferent countries and message types call for different senders. Choose between reply-capable numbers and branded sender IDs, then complete the carrier registrations your destinations require.
Use a local long code, verified toll-free number, or short code when customers need to reply to appointment reminders, delivery updates, or support threads. Where carriers support alphanumeric sender IDs, claim your brand name so one-way login codes and order alerts arrive with an identity customers recognize immediately.
Claiming a sender ID or buying a number does not automatically clear it to send in a given country. Check each destination in the dashboard or API to see whether pre-registration is required, whether carriers preserve or overwrite your sender ID, which message categories are allowed, and how many business days approval typically takes.
Submit US 10DLC brand and campaign registrations for long codes, verify North American toll-free numbers, or file country-specific sender registrations directly from Bird. Once a registration is approved, enable the destination country in your workspace settings so live traffic can go through.
Connect your AI assistant to Bird’s hosted MCP server or use the Bird CLI and SDKs to provision numbers without leaving your development workflow. Search available inventory by country, number type, national prefix, and SMS or voice capabilities, see your organization’s pricing upfront, and place the order in one call.
Your organization completes identity verification once before its first purchase, and orders draw from your wallet balance using the permissions you grant. Most numbers allocate during the request, while orders that wait on a carrier return a pending status you can poll until the number is assigned and ready for sender registration.
From the terminal, the Bird CLI lets you filter available numbers, inspect order status, and release dedicated numbers you no longer need so recurring charges stop. The buying guide walks through live carrier inventory, asynchronous order states, and how setup and recurring fees are billed.
