The Message ID is a unique identification string you receive when you send an SMS to the Sinch platform. The type of Message ID returned differs based on SMS API service you use in the Sinch ecosystem.

To find your message ID, there are two options:

Option 1 - From your API response (recommended for developers)

Below are the different SMS APIs and an explanation of the Message ID’s generated by them:

	Sample of Message ID generated when a SMS is sent to Sinch	Notes
SMPP	195d2b9b17900005edfb3216e339297e	32 characters long and starts with 19. This is also known as the Sinch Message ID and you may find this on the submit_sm_resp PDU received upon successful message submission.
REST API	01JQ9BG6A4ZKTSYY9J9VV1ZEYT	This is referred to as the Batch ID. It is included in the response payload returned by the server upon successful message submission.
MAD API	01JQ9BG6HQ9534A6AR4780NYKD or 6020828154	This is referred to as the MAD ID. It is included in the response payload returned by the server upon successful message submission.
