Problems to solve

Traditional SMS faces significant limitations that hamper business communication:

  • No sender verification, leading to customer distrust and phishing concerns
  • Text-only format limiting brand expression and visual engagement
  • No interactive elements requiring multiple steps to complete actions
  • Limited analytics on message delivery and engagement
  • Anonymous phone numbers instead of recognizable brand identities
  • Increasing consumer skepticism of unverified messages
