We are SMS infra.
The backbone for enterprise messaging across Africa.
Power Africa's digital voice.
Fast, secure, reliable SMS infrastructure built specifically for all African markets. Supporting digital inclusion across the continent.
Africa's most trusted backbone.

Built for Africa's unique landscape.

Designed from day one for Africa's unique telecom landscape - not retrofitted from another market.

eSMS Workspace

Three principles we don't bend on.
Direct routes, or none.
Every market we sell into runs on direct and Tier-1 carrier connections. No grey routes, no SIM farms. If we can't reach it on a quality route, we don't list it.
Engineers on the line.
Our support is staffed by SMPP and network engineers. When a bind drops at 03:00, the person who picks up can read your logs and fix the route.
Boring on purpose.
Infrastructure should be unremarkable. We optimise for predictability: stable APIs, slow deprecations, honest receipts, and uptime you stop noticing.
