BEFORE YOUR FIRST SEND

Resolve the destination, then the sender.

02 / SENDER & REPLY

Choose an eligible sending identity.

Read the sender guide for number or sender ID selection and registration. A displayed name cannot receive replies; a two-way workflow needs a supported receiving number and an application path for inbound messages.

The details behind your setup

Consent and category

Separate service updates from opted-in campaigns. Keep permission, preference and opt-out decisions in your application.

Integration mode

The SMS API example shows the request path; the local outcome example distinguishes acceptance, a final receipt, no receipt and a reply.

Delivery and cost

Encoding can turn a draft into several billable segments. Estimate in the SMS composer, then read character limits and current destination rates and fees.

A COMPLETE STARTING PATH

From a useful message to a supported rollout.

  1. 01Choose your destinations ↗

    Review three dated country examples, then confirm allowlist, category, sender and reply support in current details.

  2. 02Estimate and build ↗

    Try the local segment estimator, then open the SMS API implementation and maintained sending guide.

  3. 03Follow the result ↗

    Keep the message ID and observe later carrier outcomes. A receipt is not proof of reading or booking success.

DESTINATION / SEGMENT / SENDER

A clear plan
for each market.

SMS is charged per segment, with rates and fees depending on destination and sender. The composer estimates encoding and segment count; it is not a worldwide quote. Confirm registration, coverage or volume with our team.

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS

Business SMS,
answered.

Can every sender receive replies?

No. Reply support depends on destination and sender type. Use a supported two-way number and route incoming messages into your application. Read sender setup.

Should I use SMS API for login codes?

Verify owns the separate verification lifecycle: code creation, attempts, expiry and checking. A normal SMS send does not supply those controls.

Does one SMS mean one billable segment?

No. GSM-7 extension characters and Unicode can change encoding and length; multipart messages reserve header space. Estimate segments, then check current rates.
