Do you know the secret to a successful text prank? It’s the ability to change your “Sender ID”. A prank automatically fails the moment your real phone number appears as the sender. The most effective pranks use an online SMS tool that changes phone numbers with a custom name, such as Police, Sinterklaas, or KPN. You get to choose a specific name tailored to the prank, thereby making the recipient believe the message is real.
In this guide, we will show you how to choose your own Sender name to send anonymous messages. We will also explore the best 10 anonymous text pranks and April Fools SMS scripts for events like April 1st and Pakjesavond.

Sinterklaas Special (December 5th)
In the Netherlands, Pakjesavond isn’t complete without teasing poems from Sinterklaas. Instead of slipping paper notes into gifts, you can send a Sinterklaas poem SMS to add a modern touch to the tradition.
Below are short, funny Sinterklaas poems you can send:
- A Warm Poem
You do not speak, you see it all,
You feel the atmosphere, great and little.
When things are awkward, you make them simple,
That’s why this message has reached you this year.
— Piet
- A Playful Poem
You said you would be fast, not up to five minutes today.
And yet again more time has passed away.
You are still smiling, still you are in the fun,
So here’s a small gift. Sinterklaas is done.
— De Sint
- An Understated Poem
Not everything loud needs explaining or praise,
Some people just show up, again and again.
This is a short note, and it’s on purpose,
Since sometimes it is best to do less. Agree?
— Piet
- An Official Tone Poem
After careful review of your actions this year,
Some things went well, other things went wrong, my friend.
A decision was made,
You get a gift. That’s all for the year.
— De Sint
- A Lightly Brutal, Affectionate Poem
You complain about the weather and prices of stuff,
Yet somehow, you stand out as the best.
That’s a strange contradiction, but I won’t debate,
Here’s something small. You can thank me later.
— Piet
Safety & Best Practices
Here are some guidelines you need to adhere to when sending anonymous text pranks with AnonSMS:
- Don’t be Mean: Pranks should be fun, not abusive. The end goal is to make the recipient laugh and create a memorable moment. Don’t say anything that will cause them to react negatively or result in a feud. Hence why it’s advised that you know who you want to prank very well, so you can differentiate what will make them laugh or angry.
- Privacy: Remember that you’re sending an anonymous message, so keeping your identity a secret should be prioritized. AnonSMS offers 100% privacy protection—choose sender name, enter the recipient’s phone number, type in your message, and send. We don’t keep logs. Be rest assured that the messages won’t be traced to you.
- Payment Security: While there are some tools that promise to send your message for free, what they don’t tell you is that your identity is not fully secure. In fact, some sell your information to scammers. AnonSMS, on the other hand, charges a small fee to ensure your messages are sent with the chosen “Sender Name”. We offer safe payment methods with safety standards comparable to iDEAL.
