+				when a subscriber communicates with an application (MOAT/AOMT messaging)
+				he might not want expose his identity (MSISDN or IMSI);
+				the aliasing feature (sometimes called hashing) deployed on an SMS gateway enables this communication and rewrites the subscriber's ID to some generated ID;
+				the application can then send a response on a message without knowing subscriber's identity (on the gateway the ID is translated back to real ID – de-aliasing);
+				use case:
+					subscribers can vote in some survey,
+					everyone will have one vote,
+					but the owner of the survey will not know the opinion of particular subscibers
+					because of missing their real IDs
