**Summary:** Australia's ACMA introduced a regulatory requirement for branded SMS Sender ID registration, effective 1 July 2026, impacting IDVerse customers sending SMS messages to Australian recipients. Customers without a registered Sender ID had their messages delivered under generic sender names — either "Unverified" (IDKit Enterprise via Kudosity) or "IDVerse" (IDKit SaaS or Enterprise via Twilio). The incident was resolved on 9 July 2026, with customers directed to registration documentation and IDVerse Support for assistance.
