Why eSMS Africa

SMS API in Djibouti, done properly

REST API + SMPP

Send with a simple HTTPS request or bind over SMPP for high throughput. Either way your Djibouti traffic runs on the same direct routes to Djibouti Telecom.

Delivery webhooks (DLR)

Get a real-time callback for every message status - sent, delivered, failed - so your app always knows what happened to each SMS in Djibouti.

Sandbox + SDKs

Test free in the sandbox, then go live with official Node, Python, PHP and Go SDKs. Example numbers for Djibouti use the +253 country code.
