Belgium SMS Features and Restrictions
Sender ID
Sender ID will be modified to ensure delivery. Vonage's suppliers are using ShortCodes to terminate traffic to Belgium networks and messages may be blocked to users with "premium blocked" configuration.
Alphanumeric Sender IDs are not supported by Belgacom, so will be changed to a random numeric value.
Content
The Belgian networks filter heavily and place restrictions on international routes and even on direct connections.
