A composer that shows the cost first
Write once and watch the phone preview and segment meter update as you type. You see the encoding, character count, segments and credits before anything is sent.
Features
A complete bulk SMS platform, built for Tanzania
Compose, send, track and integrate — from a single dashboard, a REST API or SMPP. Every feature below is part of the platform from day one.
Compose and send
Write it, check it, send it — with the cost visible before you commit.
Contacts, groups and spreadsheet import
Paste numbers, pick a group or upload a CSV or Excel file. Numbers are cleaned into international format, duplicates and opted-out numbers are skipped, and you see the totals before you send.
Templates and personalisation
Save templates and merge each person's name, or any spreadsheet column, into the message. Every personalised message is counted exactly, so the credit total holds no surprises.
Scheduling in Tanzanian time
Send now or schedule for later in Africa/Dar_es_Salaam time. Cancel anything that has not yet been handed to the network and the credits come back.
Deliver and track
Reach every network and know what happened to every message.
Your brand as the sender ID
Request an alphanumeric sender name with your supporting documents. We review it and handle the network approvals; only approved names can be used to send.
Every Tanzanian network
Vodacom, Airtel, Yas, Halotel and TTCL — routed automatically from one account, with the network detected from each number.
Honest delivery receipts
Each message moves from queued to sent to network to delivered or failed. "Sent to network" is never shown as "delivered", and late receipts update the record when they arrive.
Campaign progress and reports
Live progress for every campaign, per-recipient history, filters and CSV export for audits and follow-ups.
Connect your systems
Send from your own software, and hear back the moment a status changes.
REST API
One HTTPS request to send, plus endpoints for message status, balance and sender IDs. Idempotency keys make retries safe.
SMPP v3.4 over TLS
Bind as transmitter, receiver or transceiver and receive standard delivery receipts on your own gateway.
Signed webhooks
Every status change pushed to your server, signed with HMAC-SHA256 and retried automatically if your endpoint is down.
Test mode
Test API keys and SMPP accounts run the complete pipeline without sending a real SMS or using any credits.
Buy and control
Clear pricing, flexible payment and the controls a business needs.
SMS credits that never expire
Buy credits in TZS with VAT included. Your available, reserved and used credits are always visible, with a plain-language usage history.
Pay by mobile money, bank or Lipa Namba
Mobile money push is confirmed automatically; bank and deposit payments are verified by our finance team. Receipts show the VAT.
Teams, roles and an audit trail
Invite colleagues as owner, operator, finance or developer with only the access they need. Sensitive actions are recorded.
Security by design
Each organisation's data is isolated, API keys are shown once and stored hashed, and privileged accounts use two-step sign-in.
Segments & credits
See exactly what a message will cost
One credit pays for one SMS segment. Standard characters fit 160 to a segment; add an emoji or a curly quote and the message switches to Unicode, which fits 70. Try it yourself.
