SMS Sender ID Registration
For real estate businesses using iRealtee's SMS Sender ID feature, Globe requires pre-registration of alphanumeric sender IDs. This process involves:
- Submitting a Letter of Authorization (LOA)
- Providing business registration documents (SEC, DTI, or TIN)
- Registering the brand name to be displayed as the sender
Without proper registration, messages sent through Globe's network may have their sender ID overwritten or blocked. This registration requirement helps prevent spam and ensures compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012.

Globe operates nationwide across all Philippine provinces and regions. The company is headquartered in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig and is publicly listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange.
Relevance to Real Estate

When configuring notification systems in real estate platforms, businesses must register their sender IDs with both Globe and Smart to ensure message delivery across all Philippine mobile subscribers.
