SMS alerts FROM number

Hello all,
When I receive SMSs from Nagios XI (version 5.7.2), they come from numbers like 1410200558, 1010100024, 1402101225, 1410100053 and so on.
Each SMS some from a unique sender number. I'd like to have them all come from the same number. Is this possible? When I get 30 SMSs, I have to view them each one at a time and then delete them one at a time.
Thank you!

This is likely coming from your SMS carrier which is probably sending from a group of numbers.
Who is your carrier?

Hi Sean,
I'm with AT&T.
Can we configure the SMS to be coming *from* another number?
When we have a host that goes down, anyone who gets an SMS along with email notification spends a good amount of time manually deleting each alert. If they all come from the same number, it would be much less annoying and cumbersome.
Regards,
JL

It doesn't support it from what I can tell (otherwise it would show the from that the emails show, since it's showing a phone number this would all be handled on the AT&T side):

You can double-check that's the case with this:
That will send with the from address to XXXXXXXXXXX, if that doesn't change it then it's not likely possible to be changed, you may need to reach out to AT&T and ask them if it's even possible.
EDIT: Mine is now showing the FRM in the message but the number is still random that it came from.
