The communications infrastructure for Africa.
Not just an SMS gateway. One platform for messaging channels, number and routing intelligence, trust and safety, multi-tenant accounts and billing - reaching every network in all 54 African countries through a single API.
Every messaging channel, one account
Eight products on a single balance and one set of keys. Start with SMS and add the rest as you grow - the same dashboard, the same API.
SMS منبر
Bulk and transactional SMS to every African network over API or portal.
eSMS Verify (OTP)
Managed phone verification and one-time passwords in two API calls.
Two-Way SMS
Dedicated or shared short codes to send and receive SMS, standard rated or toll free.
SMPP Gateway
High-throughput A2P messaging over direct SMPP binds with guaranteed TPS.
eSMS Mail
Transactional and marketing email with a modern API and SMTP relay.
eSMS Links
Branded short links and QR codes with click analytics.
eSMS Chat
AI plus human support chat you can add to any website.
Number and routing intelligence
The infrastructure beneath the message: know the number before you send, route it on the best carrier, and see exactly how it performed.
Number validation
Validate any African number for format, line type and carrier - single or up to 1,000 at once.
Operator and route analytics
Per-operator delivery rate, DLR latency and route health, scoped to your traffic.
Least-cost routing and failover
Traffic auto-routes across carriers on cost and quality, with automatic failover.
Sender ID management
Register, track and route branded sender IDs per country, with approval status.
Operator lookup API
A standalone endpoint to classify a number to its operator and MCC/MNC.
Live HLR reachability
Real-time network lookup for reachability and number portability.
Delivery you can prove, traffic you can trust
Messaging is only useful if it arrives - and only safe if the network is protected. Both are built in, not bolted on.
Signed delivery receipts
Real DLRs with operator codes preserved and refundable, honest billing.
Opt-out, STOP and DND
Automatic opt-out handling and do-not-disturb compliance per market.
Anti-spam and content filtering
Content policy and anti-spam enforcement on every route.
Fraud and impermissible-traffic monitoring
Platform-level detection of AIT and impermissible OTP traffic protects every account.
Sender ID policy engine
Per-account, per-country rules that pass, replace or reject unapproved senders.
Customer fraud signals
Velocity, reputation and OTP-abuse signals surfaced in your own dashboard.
Built for teams, resellers and enterprises
From a solo developer to a bank or an aggregator reselling to its own clients - the account model and billing scale with you.
Reseller and sub-tenant accounts
Create isolated client accounts with their own binds, pricing and balances.
Wallet and self-serve top-up
One balance across every product, topped up by card on demand.
Crypto top-up
Fund your wallet with USDT and USDC over Binance Pay.
Usage reports and CSV export
Per-country, per-route reporting and full message export.
2FA, scoped keys and IP allow-listing
Account security controls: two-factor auth, scoped API keys and IP firewalls.
Invoicing and postpaid credit
Per-period invoices and credit terms for enterprise accounts.
A platform teams can ship on in an afternoon

REST API and SMPP
A simple HTTPS API for most integrations, direct SMPP binds for sustained throughput.
Signed delivery webhooks
Every status change posted to your endpoint in real time, HMAC-signed.
Official SDKs
First-party SDKs for Node.js, Python, PHP and Go.
AI-readable docs
