Bulk SMS that reaches every phone
A text message reaches every phone, smart or not, with or without data, and most are read within minutes. We give businesses in Kenya a way to send SMS to all their customers at once, or to one customer at exactly the right moment, under their own name.
Ask about bulk SMSWhy it matters
Businesses use bulk SMS for two kinds of message. The first is the announcement: an offer, a reminder, a notice that the shop will be closed. The second is the automatic message your own system sends, such as a payment confirmation, a one-time code or a delivery update.
We support both. Your staff send campaigns from a web dashboard, and your developers send automatic messages through an API.

Questions we are asked
What is a sender ID?
A sender ID is the name that appears as the sender of a text message in place of a phone number, for example your business name. It tells customers at a glance who the message is from and makes them more likely to read it.
How long does it take to register a sender ID in Kenya?
The mobile networks approve sender IDs, so the timing is in their hands. We prepare and submit the application for you and follow it up. You can start sending as soon as the networks approve the name.
Can my own system send SMS automatically?
Yes. We provide an API that your website, app or ERP system calls to send a message. It is the usual way to send payment confirmations, one-time passwords, appointment reminders and delivery updates.
How is bulk SMS priced?
You pay for each message sent, and the price per message falls as the volume rises. Tell us roughly how many messages you expect to send in a month and we will send you a quote.
Do customers have to agree to receive messages?
Yes. Send promotional messages only to people who have given you their number for that purpose, and give them a way to stop receiving them. It keeps you within the rules and keeps your sender name trusted.
