Does your SMS look like spam?

We check:

  • Sender ID — does your name arrive, or "Unverified"?
  • Spammy wording — the sort phones junk filter
  • Opt-out — a working way to unsubscribe
  • Scam look-alikes — patterns that get messages blocked

Free, no signup, about a minute.

Send us one text and see exactly what a phone gets.

First, tell us what you are sending

Pasting leaves your wording untouched, so take a code only if you cannot control the exact text.

Then send it to

0420 137 100

An Australian mobile number, SMS only. Send it from your normal platform, worded exactly as a customer would get it.

Free, and there is no signup. If you send a one time code, any run of four or more digits is masked before anything is shown. Results expire after two days.

1

Tell us your message

Paste the wording you are about to send, or take a short code to drop into it.

2

Send it to 0420 137 100

From your own platform, worded exactly as a customer would get it.

3

See exactly how it arrived

The from line a handset showed, your text as received, what it cost, and what a filter would make of it.

Two things decide whether a text lands. Your name surviving the trip, and your wording getting past the filter.

Will my name survive

Australia's ACMA Sender ID Register takes a business name off a message when that name has not been registered to the business sending it, and puts the word Unverified in its place. The swap happens after your platform has done its job, so your own reporting will never show it to you. Delivery reports still say delivered.

Will this get junk filtered

Carriers and handsets read the wording too. Public link shorteners, urgency, prize language, all capitals and no way to opt out are the things that push a text towards a phone's spam folder. We read your message the way a filter does and tell you what stands out.

Your result is reachable only from your own link, and it stops working two days after the test. Messages sent to the test number are kept for thirty days and then deleted. Sender ID register enforcement is being phased in, so a result describes the route your message took to us on the day you sent it.
