Australia to launch SMS Sender ID Register to combat scam texts, set to begin late 2025.

The Australian government will introduce a mandatory SMS Sender ID Register to combat scam text messages. Telecommunications companies will verify messages sent under brand names, with unverified messages either blocked or flagged. This $10 million initiative, set to launch late 2025, aims to reduce scam messages, restore trust in legitimate business communications, and protect consumers from fraudulent activities.
