Our SMS API allows you to send messages to all four networks in Nigeria.
We are able to deliver messages to DND numbers on the four major telcos in Nigeria.
To do this, we will need to register your sender ID on the transactional bind. For your sender ID to be registered on the transactional bind, you are required to be sending OTPs, Financial messages, or Transactional messages that are solicited by the clients.
Note:
The transactional bind is for solicited and transactional messages.
In order to send messages successfully through the Transactional Bind, your Sender ID will have to be approved for whitelisting by the telcos. Once the telcos approve the sender ID, the telcos will then whitelist the sender ID on their end.
The minimum timeline is 2 weeks on all telcos.
For sender IDs that do not fall into the above category, we will be registering your sender ID on the promotional bind. You can also inform your clients to opt out of DND to be able to receive your messages.
Below are the KYC requirements:
A Nigerian Company Certificate of Incorporation
Valid Form Of ID (International Passport, Driver's License, National ID).
Contact Person Form.
A signed letter of request. A sample of the messages you'll be sending should be included in the letter. This letter should describe the nature of the business, the messages being sent, and state that they are solicited and are transactional. It should be written on the official letterhead and signed by a C-level Executive. You will be addressing the letter to the telcos individually (MTN, Glo, 9mobile, Airtel)
A financial license/Gaming license is required for companies that are in this category
Send the above documents to info@africastalking.com, and we will help you get a sender ID.
