The United Kingdom's (UK) Mobile Ecosystem Forum (MEF) SMS Sender ID Protection Registry was established to help the identification and blocking of fraudulent SMS messages, protecting consumers as well as legitimate businesses and organizations. The registry enables organizations to register the Sender IDs used when sending SMS to customers in the UK, limiting the ability of fraudsters to impersonate a brand.

If your Sender ID is protected by MEF then a completed Letter of Authorization (LOA) is required. The information provided must be of the end company.
