SMS

Short Messaging Service (SMS) is a widely used communication channel across the globe. You can send promotional, OTP, or transactional messages where internet connectivity is poor. You should create a Sender ID to start sending business messages to the end users, however, your messages should comply with the telecom regulatory requirements to deliver them successfully.

Leverage SMS messaging as a fallback channel to other communication channels like WhatsApp, which require internet connectivity. SMS allows two-way communication between the end user and the enterprise.
