Your handy guide to sending in Vietnam

Updated this week

You can send One-Way SMS in Vietnam with a registered alpha tag.

However, you can't send MMS messages.


Available Sender IDs

You can only send via registered alpha tags in Vietnam.

Registration and fees may apply.

Alpha tags

Alpha tags allow you to use your brand name as your Sender ID instead of a number. Recipients cannot reply to messages sent using an alpha tag.

To register an alpha tag, please contact support.

Alpha tag registration usually takes 30 business days.

Registration requirements

When registering an alpha tag, you will need to provide:

  • Alpha Tag (maximum 11 characters)

  • Business Name and Website

  • Sample Message Content

  • URL in the message content (if applicable)

  • A copy of your Trade License

Once submitted, additional forms will be sent to you by our Global Sending Specialist to complete the registration process.
