The tools to send SMS with confidence

Campaigns & contact lists
Import or sync contacts, select a list, and schedule a campaign. Follow its progress and recipient outcomes from your account.
Tanzania phone validation
Format Tanzania mobile numbers consistently and see how character encoding and message length determine SMS parts.
Delivery status updates
Check message logs for provider acceptance and later delivery updates. Delivery reports arrive asynchronously, so a successful API response is not handset confirmation.
Exact credit billing
Credits are counted by SMS part. Review deductions and top-ups in the account ledger, with idempotent handling for supported retry flows.
Mobile money top-ups
Top up using the payment methods currently available in your account. Destination rates and credit options can change; check the live rate card before sending.
Custom Sender IDs
Request an alphanumeric Sender ID, provide the required details, and check its review status in your account.
Google Contacts sync
Connect Google Contacts to import eligible numbers into a SendAfrica contact list when you choose to sync.
See your SMS from request to delivery report
Connect through the REST API or dashboard, retry safely with idempotency keys, and follow asynchronous delivery updates in your message log. A successful send response means the provider accepted the message; final delivery status arrives separately.
