Have you ever wondered about this!🤔

Have you ever wondered what these codes or headers in the SMS mean?
Well, There is a website by TRAI where you can find out information on SMS sender details.
https://smsheader.trai.gov.in/loginpage

Headers are assigned a fixed length of 6 alphanumeric characters, which includes prefixes and separators, for a total of 9 characters. For example, a header like “VM-FEDBNK” might appear in an SMS message. In this case, “V” represents the service provider Vodafone, “M” indicates the service area (in this case, Mumbai), and “FEDBNK” represents the Federal Bank.

So, next time you receive an SMS with unfamiliar codes or headers, you can simply use this website to understand it better.

Stay safe and informed!
