A Sender ID is required when you would like to send branded messages.

In Nigeria,Sender IDs are raised for free .

There are no extra charges while sending SMS,(normal charges for SMSes apply, have a look at our Pricing)

We have two types of SMS: promotional SMS for sending out promotions and marketing messages, and transactional SMS for sending OTPs, financial, and transactional messages.

The promotional messages are usually unsolicited while the transactional is solicited

Promotional SMS

  • contact persons form (to be attached)ย 

  • a form of identification( Driver's license ,National id card or International passport).

  • A certificate of incorporation

  • Fill out the attached Airtel letter of request on your company letterhead

    Transactional SMS

  • contact persons form (to be attached)

  • a form of identification( Driver's license ,National id card or International passport).

  • A certificate of incorporation

  • Fill out the attached AT Letter draft on your company letterhead. The letter should be addressed to the four telcos individually

  • Financial license or Gaming license for companies that are financial institutions or offering gaming service

    Please note that the ID should be within an 11-character limit.
