# Send an SMS using verified Sender ID

Use the DIDWW User Panel to send a single SMS message using a verified Sender ID.

## Before you begin

- The Sender ID Verification must have the [Active status](../sender-id-verification-reference.html#sender-id-verification-statuses).
- An [HTTP OUT SMS trunk](../../sms-trunks/create-sms-http-trunk-out.html#user-panel-sms-out) must be associated with the verification. To associate or change the trunk, see [Edit a Sender ID Verification](edit-sender-id-verification.html).

## Step 1: Open the Send SMS form

1. In the DIDWW User Panel, go to **SMS > Sender ID Verifications**.
2. Open the **Verifications** tab.
3. Find the verification with the **Active** status and click the actions button.
4. Select **Send SMS**.

1. Select the **Source Address**.
2. Enter the destination number in international format, including the country code.
3. Enter the message in the **Text** field.
4. Click **Send**.

Note

For **Alphanumeric**, **Long-code**, and **Toll-Free** verifications, only
Sender IDs assigned to the verification are available under **Source
Address**.

Carrier

1. Enter the destination number in international format, including the country code.
2. Enter the message in the **Text** field.
3. Click **Send**.

Note

The Carrier form does not contain **Source Address**. The destination carrier determines the Sender ID that recipients
see.

logs](../../../logs-analytics/sms-logs/outbound-logs.html).

To send messages through the API, see [Outbound SMS
examples](../../sms-trunks/technical-data/http-specification.html#sms-out-spec-sending).
