    }catch (\Exception $e) {
    $e->getMessage();
    }

How Can I solve this problem please ?? thank in advance

Looking over the code from Laravel, I believe what you are doing is correct, as it looks like they pass your "from" setting back up the notification stack. The only thing I can think off the top of my head is possibly country restrictions, as different countries have different SMS requirements for the sender data.

You may want to check the Country Specific Features and Recommendations list to see if the carrier is overriding this.

Also keep in mind that Laravel Notifications are pure SMS messages, they are not our Verify product. You are much more restricted in what you can set as the "from" option with raw SMS (See the country restrictions above).
