SenderID needs to be registered over ComReg portal. ComReg is regulatory entity in Ireland. During registration it is important to add Bird as OPA, this means that you are allowing us to send your traffic. ComReg has ETA of 5 days to do the registration. Once registration is done sender ID will be listed on their list which also means it will be added in our system.
If sender ID is not registered it will be manipulated to Likely Scam.

How sending works

Sending to Ireland, answered
What senders ask before their first message to Ireland.
Do I need to register a sender before sending SMS to Ireland?
Registration is optional for an alphanumeric sender ID. You can send before approval, but the sender ID is overwritten until approval and preserved afterward. No registration is required for a long code; confirm availability, ownership and destination access before sending. For an alphanumeric sender ID the name itself is registered. Confirm how the approved sender is presented on the destination networks.
Can I use an alphanumeric sender ID in Ireland?
Yes. Registration is optional: before approval the carrier overwrites the sender ID, and after approval the approved sender ID is preserved.
Can I receive replies from Ireland?
Yes, if you send from a long code. Replies are delivered to you as signed webhooks.
Are there quiet hours for SMS in Ireland?
Quiet hours are recorded here. Confirm the applicable sending window for your message purpose and recipient location.
What other channels can Bird reach Ireland on?
WhatsApp and Voice, from the same account and API.
