Spain: SMS Guidelines

MCC: 214
Dial Code: 34

Spain's telecoms regulator, the CNMC, is rolling out a new Alias Registry as part of Circular 1/2026. Starting June 7, 2026, any alphanumeric Sender ID — that's the brand name people see instead of a phone number when they receive an SMS — must be registered before it can be used to send messages to Spanish numbers (+34).

Information on Alphanumeric Sender ID registration:

Please provide the details below to alpha_sender_id@telnyx.com:

Your company details
— Full legal company name
— Your NIF/CIF (Spanish tax ID for companies) or EU-VAT number if you're based outside Spain
— Registered company address

  1. Legal representative
    — Full name
