Appearance of short SMS sender number on a SIM card

Hi all,

When a message is sent to a phone from a gateway using a short SMS
number (i.e. bulk SMS num), how would it appear on the SIM? What I
mean is, would the international code be appended to the front
(+4412345), or would it just be shown as 12345?

I have an application where I need to chop off the +44 from incoming
SMS messages but I have no idea if I need to apply it to incoming bulk
SMS too.

Many thanks.
