# What does BLOCKED_SENDERID mean?

The **sender ID you used is blocked or not allowed** for this send - for example it is restricted, suspended, or not permitted for the destination or message type. The message was not sent.

**What you can do:** Use a different, approved sender ID. If you believe the block is wrong, contact support with your sender ID and use case.
