From SMPP gateways to a developer-first API, we run the rails that move OTPs, alerts and notifications across Africa - fast, direct, accountable.
We don't sell marketing tools, chatbots, or dashboards. We sell the rails underneath them - clean SMPP binds and a thin HTTP API, both pointed at the same operator-direct routes.
Persistent TX, RX and TRX binds with strict throughput windows, DLR pass-through, and real-time submit_sm acknowledgements. For aggregators and platforms that already speak the protocol.
A small, predictable JSON API for teams that don't want to run an SMPP client. Same routes, same delivery, same receipts - exposed as REST with webhooks for inbound and DLR.

"eSMS Africa has transformed our customer communication. The delivery rates are exceptional and their platform is incredibly easy to use."
"We switched to eSMS Africa six months ago and haven't looked back. Their API integration was seamless and their support team is always responsive."
"The best SMS service provider in Africa. We've tried others but none compare to the reliability and features eSMS Africa offers."
We are not a marketing platform. We are not a reseller. We are SMS infrastructure. eSMS Africa powers digital communication across the continent through fast, secure, and reliable messaging infrastructure built specifically for African markets.
SMPP for the platforms that need it, an HTTP API for the teams that don't, and a single team behind the routes who answer the phone when something is off.
