@Paul__Walsh @adrianweckler Everyone was given enough notice and it was free to register. The company or the companies sms provider should have registered the senderID. Its as simple as that.

[Fraud Prevention Ire @FraudIreland]

@NIAMHBL As the solution only went live on the 3rd July, some companies never registered so you will likely see a few genuine sms being marked as likely scam until they realise and get themselves registered.

[Fraud Prevention Ire @FraudIreland]

@shanesull @adrianweckler Once registered then your designated senderID registry portal manager needs to approve it on your end.

[Fraud Prevention Ire @FraudIreland]

I Cant wait to see this in action. Another step forward. Well done @comreg

[ComReg @comreg]
