Transactional SMS
Transactional SMS is your lifeline for critical business communication. Order confirmations, payment receipts, shipping updates, booking confirmations, account alerts — these messages need to reach your customers instantly, every time, day or night. Our transactional SMS routes are prioritized for speed and reliability, with delivery to all numbers including DND subscribers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

OTP
OTP & Verification SMS
Security and trust start with a reliable OTP. Whether it's a login verification, a payment authentication, a new account signup, or a password reset — your OTP SMS needs to arrive in under 5 seconds. Our OTP SMS infrastructure is engineered for ultra-low latency, high concurrency, and 99.9% uptime — so your users never get stuck waiting for a code that doesn't arrive.

VOI
Voice SMS
Reach customers who don't read texts — with voice SMS, your message is delivered as an automated phone call in Tamil, English, or Hindi. Perfect for political campaigns, event announcements, emergency alerts, and businesses targeting older demographics or low-literacy audiences. Voice SMS achieves outstanding reach in semi-urban and rural Tamil Nadu where voice communication is preferred over text.

With over 500 million WhatsApp users in India, bulk WhatsApp messaging lets you send rich, engaging content — images, PDFs, product catalogues, booking links — directly to your customers' most-used app. Unlike SMS, WhatsApp messages can include media, buttons, and quick replies. Our platform helps you send compliant WhatsApp campaigns through the official WhatsApp Business API, with delivery receipts and read confirmations.

Our promotional bulk SMS plans start at ₹0.15 per SMS. Transactional SMS rates vary based on volume — the more you send, the lower your per-SMS cost. We offer flexible prepaid packs and high-volume monthly plans. There are no hidden charges and credits don't expire. Contact us for a custom quote based on your expected monthly volume.
Promotional SMS is used for marketing — offers, discounts, new arrivals, event promotions. These can only be sent to non-DND numbers between 9 AM and 9 PM. Transactional SMS is for service communication — OTPs, order confirmations, payment receipts, appointment reminders. These are sent 24/7 to all numbers including DND-registered ones. Most businesses use both types for different purposes.
DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) is TRAI's mandatory regulatory system for commercial SMS in India. Every business that sends bulk SMS must register their company (entity registration) and their SMS templates on the DLT portal. Without DLT registration, your messages will not be delivered. We handle the entire DLT registration process for you as part of our onboarding.
Transactional SMS and OTP messages are typically delivered within 5–15 seconds. Promotional SMS delivery depends on the number of recipients, network load, and the telecom operator — large campaigns may take a few minutes to fully deliver but are dispatched immediately from our end.
Yes! We fully support Unicode SMS which allows you to send messages in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and all other Indian languages. Tamil SMS is particularly effective for Chennai businesses targeting local customers who are more comfortable reading in their native language.
Yes. You can send SMS from a 6-character alphabetical sender ID — for example, SMEDIG or SHOPCO — instead of a random number. Your brand name appearing as the sender builds instant recognition and trust with recipients. Sender ID registration is part of the DLT process we handle for you.
There is no upper limit. You can send to thousands or millions of numbers in a single campaign. Our platform is built to handle high-volume bulk campaigns without degrading delivery speed or quality. Simply upload your contact list via CSV and launch.
Yes. Our dashboard allows you to schedule campaigns for any future date and time. This is particularly useful for festival sales, morning promotions, or any campaign where timing is critical to response rates.
Yes. Real-time delivery reports are available in your dashboard showing delivered, failed, and pending status for every number in your campaign. You can also export detailed reports as CSV for your records or CRM import.
We have no large mandatory minimum purchase. You can start with a small pack to test our platform and service quality before committing to larger volumes. We'd rather earn your trust with performance than lock you in upfront.
Yes. We provide a well-documented REST API that lets you trigger SMS from your website, mobile app, CRM, or any software system. Common integrations include OTP at login, order SMS from eCommerce platforms, appointment SMS from booking systems, and payment alerts from billing software.
For promotional SMS, messages to DND-registered numbers are blocked by the telecom network — this is a regulatory requirement. For transactional SMS (service messages, OTPs, alerts), delivery to DND numbers is permitted and will go through normally.
Yes! In addition to SMS, we offer WhatsApp bulk messaging through the official WhatsApp Business API. WhatsApp messages support rich media — images, PDFs, catalogues, and interactive buttons — making them ideal for product promotions, order updates, and customer support.
Absolutely. We take data privacy seriously. Your contact lists and campaign data are stored securely and are never shared with third parties. All data transmission on our platform is encrypted, and we comply with applicable data protection regulations.
