General

Which Nigerian networks do you deliver to?

Our messaging is delivered to subscribers on MTN, Airtel, Glo and 9mobile.

Do I need to register a Sender ID in Nigeria?

Bulk SMS

What is bulk SMS?

Bulk SMS lets you send the same text message to many recipients at once — for example promotions, reminders or announcements — from a single dashboard instead of texting people one by one.

Can I schedule messages for later?

Yes. You can prepare a campaign and choose to send it immediately or schedule it for a time that suits your audience.

Custom Sender ID

What is a Custom Sender ID?

A Sender ID is the name shown as the sender of your SMS. A Custom Sender ID displays your brand name instead of a phone number, so customers recognise your messages immediately.

Real-Time Analytics

How can I see how my campaign performed?

Real-Time Analytics shows you the status and delivery results of your campaigns so you can measure performance and improve the next one.
