Usage of alphanumeric sender ID for SMS messaging in Russia

Question

Is it possible to use an already registered alphanumeric sender ID for SMS messaging in Russia with second provider?
I.e. ID is registered through provider A and now we would like to use this sender ID also with AWS SNS. Do we have to register it again?

Answer

Hello,

If you plan to send messages to a country, for example Russia, where pre-registration of sender ID is required as per AWS documentation at this link[1], then you have to register the sender ID with AWS and follow the steps at this next link [2] in order to use the same sender ID again which has already been registered with provider A.

The reason is that AWS needs to register the sender ID further once more.
