# SMS Reminders: customize the sender name

> Replace the default Upflow sender with your own company name on SMS reminders so customers instantly recognize who's contacting them and trust your messages.

## Introduction

By default, SMS reminders sent from Upflow appear from **"Upflow"**. Because your customers may not recognize that name, they might ignore the message or report it as spam — reducing the impact of your SMS reminders.

To make your reminders instantly recognizable, you can replace the default sender with your own company name.

## Set your sender name

1. Go to [**Settings → SMS**](https://app.upflow.io/organization/-/settings/sms).

2. In the **Sender name** field, enter the name you want your customers to see.

3. Click **Save**.

Your new sender name applies to all SMS reminders sent from that point on.

## Naming rules

Sender names follow constraints set by mobile carriers. Your sender name must be:

* Up to **11 characters** long
* Made up of **letters** (A–Z, a–z), **digits** (0–9), and **spaces** only — no accents, punctuation, or other special characters

## Countries that don't support custom sender names

Some countries — for example the **US** and **Canada** — don't allow custom sender names. When your SMS recipient is in one of these countries, your reminder is sent from an Upflow phone number instead of your company name.
