About

We are SMS infra.

The backbone for enterprise messaging across Africa.

Mission

Power Africa's digital voice.

Fast, secure, reliable SMS infrastructure built specifically for all African markets. Supporting digital inclusion across the continent.

Vision

Africa's most trusted backbone.

The messaging infrastructure provider that enterprises across the continent build on. Reliable, predictable, always on.

Why eSMS Africa

Built for Africa's unique landscape.

Built for Africa

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

Direct Operator Connectivity

No grey routes. Every message travels through direct agreements with in-country MNOs.

Infrastructure-Level Reliability

99.9% uptime SLA with active-active failover across multiple regions.

Developer-Friendly APIs

RESTful API, official SDKs, signed webhooks - integrate in hours, not weeks.

Pan-African Coverage

50+ countries with direct routes. One integration, continent-wide reach.

24/7 Local Support

Engineers - not ticket queues - on call around the clock from KE Nairobi, UG Kampala, and NG Abuja.

How we operate

Three principles we don't bend on.

01

Direct routes, or none.

Every market we sell into, we hold a direct agreement with the operator. No grey routes, no SIM farms. If we can't connect directly, we don't list it.

02

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.

03

Boring on purpose.

Infrastructure should be unremarkable. We optimise for predictability: stable APIs, slow deprecations, honest receipts, and uptime you stop noticing.

Leadership

The team behind the routes.
