How it works
From sign-up to your first delivered SMS — in minutes
eSMS Africa is a bulk SMS, OTP and SMPP gateway for Africa and the world. Choose the HTTP API for speed or SMPP for scale — both run on the same carrier-grade routes.
1
Create your account
Sign up and tell us the countries you send to. We set you up for the HTTP API, SMPP, or both.
2
Get your credentials
Generate an API key for the REST API, or receive SMPP bind details (host, port 2775, system-id and password) by email.
3
Register your Sender ID
We register your branded Sender ID with the operators in each country so your messages deliver and look trusted.
4
Send & track
Send SMS and OTP over the API or SMPP, then track delivery in real time with reports and downloadable CSV logs.
Messaging API
- One HTTP request per SMS with your API key

SMPP gateway

- High throughput for millions of messages/day
- Real-time DLRs over the same session
- IP-whitelisted for security · best for volume
