What happened to 'From mobile phone number'?

In the past you could make your SMS messages look like they came from any mobile phone number just by typing whatever you liked into the "From mobile phone number" field which we then used as the SMS sender mobile phone number.

In an ongoing effort to prevent fraud our suppliers are now asking us to ensure that SMS messages are stamped with a mobile phone sender that is an actual real mobile phone number in the possession of the sending customer.

To this end we now require you to register one of your real mobile phone numbers with us before you can send further SMS messages.

If you haven't already, please tell us your mobile number via our secure server. We'll ask you for your User name and Password to sign in. This is any username and password that you use to either connect to Australia On Line or use to access your email.

After telling us your phone number

After you tell us your phone number with us, every SMS you send will automatically use that number as its sender. Whoever you send your SMS to will see the message as if it came from your phone.
