SMS Wholesale

A2P and P2P messaging on white routes only. Grey routes are cheaper per message and we do not sell them.

What you get

White-route delivery, end-to-end visibility.

SMS is not a commodity once a single failed OTP costs you a customer. We deliver via direct MNO interconnects and SMPP into your gateway, no third-party aggregators in the middle.

A2P messaging

A2P messaging

Marketing, OTP, alerts, 2FA. Sender ID pre-registration per market. Throughput tuned to MNO rate limits, not assumed.

Direct MNO routes

Direct MNO routes

White routes only. Direct interconnects to MNOs and SMS firewalls. Every message leaves a billing trail, not a ‘delivered, probably’ guess.

Delivery receipts

Delivery receipts

DLRs per message, not per campaign. We surface the MNO-level reject codes so your team can fix the issue, not guess at it.

Why grey routes cost more

The grey-route maths does not work the way it looks.

Grey routes exploit loopholes in the GSM framework so termination charges are side-stepped. The per-message rate is lower. The total cost is almost always higher.

01

No delivery guarantee

Grey traffic rides unverified networks. Brands often cannot tell whether a message was delivered, campaigns look like they are working when they are not.

02

MNO firewalls block it

By 2022, 82% of MNOs ran a next-gen SMS firewall capable of separating white from grey traffic. Grey gets blocked, silently.

03

Sender ID stripped

When the firewall cannot identify the source, the alphanumeric sender ID gets dropped. Your brand shows up as a random number. Open rate collapses.

04

OTP failure = churn

Two-factor authentication traffic is the largest single A2P use case. A failed OTP often means a failed signup. The per-message saving evaporates.

Industry data point

$36.5B

Estimated cumulative global A2P SMS revenue leakage from grey routes over five years (Mobilesquared / Sinch analysis). That is not a typo. It is the gap between what operators should have billed and what they actually billed because traffic rode grey.

We do not contribute to that number.

Market specifics

What changes by region.

SMS is local. Pre-registration, sender ID rules, throughput caps, content inspection, every market has its own playbook.

United States

10DLC mandatory

Brand registration now required or the carriers throttle throughput. We handle registration and campaign use cases end-to-end.

Europe

GDPR per country

Opt-in evidence and content rules apply per country. Sender ID pre-registration is required in most EU markets.

LATAM

Variable support

Alphanumeric sender ID supported in some markets, blocked in others. We run corridor-specific testing.

MEA

High grey pressure

Several corridors see persistent grey-route traffic. We only sell direct, selling grey costs your reputation, not just margin.
