So continue reading.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">See the image below. In this particular image, the first 2 characters that is IM are the prefix of the sender ID.

We have taken the example of Pantaloons. Here the two characters are I and M. These are automatically set by the operator delivering the message. Its main purpose is to inform about the channel used in the message delivery. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fast2sms.com\/Bulk-SMS-Service\">Bulk SMS company<\/a> has no control over this.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>According to TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of<\/strong><strong> India), the rules are<\/strong>,<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Sender ID can only be of 6 characters. eg, ID-FSTSMS. Here FSTSMS is the sender ID of Fast2SMS.<\/li>\n<li>The first character of the prefix display the operator name. Here in ID-FSTSMS, the operator is Idea cellular.<\/li>\n<li>The second character of the prefix display the location of the operator through which the message is received.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So we can easily interpret that SMS has come from Idea cellular, Delhi.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now let us quickly check the code used for operator and
