    Dear All, I'm Using AT commands and C# to send SMS using a GSM Modem. I want to try to set the "Sender's Name" to be displayed to the receiver instead of displaying the telephone number. Can this be done by passing some parameters in the AT commands?

      I think that that would be managed by the recipients cell phone to check the number based off entires in the phone book.

          No* *It may be possible to spoof the sms sending phone number, which in turn will spoof the name if the phone book record has that number contained. Don't ask me how, I don't know.

            actually i dont want to spoof, i just want to display a name which i hardcode in my application in their inbox. If they use the reply feature it should reply to the actual sender number.

              Again, no. That number would have to be saved in the recipients phone book, you cannot assign a name to it. Sorry.

                Sometimes you can receive an SMS which has a sender's name set, even if it's not in your phone book. Orange in the UK do this with most of their service info messages

                  In the US/ Canada I've never seen this before, ever. And I get a fairly decent amount of spam SMS on my phone, all from +333000 or something similar, never from an actual name, unless it is stored in my phone book.

                    Is it just their service messages that do that? If so they could be cheating and build the directory entries into their firmware.
