The names of senders who are already registered in our service for MTS will be submitted for pre-registration automatically on behalf of the Customer's company if there is a signed contract with our service. Please check the status of the name registration in your personal account for approval by the operator. SMS messages from names that have not been registered with MTS will be prohibited from sending.
