The transactional bind gives you the best pricing to deliver your SMS via the bulk route to phone numbers that are not on DND. Sender ID registration is required to deliver SMS via this route. In some instances, additional KYC might be required for the Sender ID.
The route is available to only the businesses that are registered in Nigeria, fully owned by Nigerian(s), and running their operations in Nigeria. Foreign and International business entities are required to use the International bind/route.
Note: If you have been one of our clients before we converted from the unit-based pricing to the Naira-based pricing, your SMS will be billed using the converted billing system. This was mentioned in the mail we sent to all our clients on June 1, 2021. You can find a detailed explanation of the rates and calculations on our blog.
Your billing will be adjusted to the one above once the converted value is exhausted and you fund your wallet.

Voice OTP is one of the best channels to deliver time-sensitive One-Time passwords to your clients. It offers 100% delivery regardless of the phone number DND status. Additionally, you are billed when the call is delivered, that is when your clients pick up the call and listen to the OTP.
The pricing of the Voice OTP is based on a 5-second increment. At the rate of ₦1.50/5-second. There are standard OTP classes that are available for use. You can view the classes, the associated class code, and the price at https://app.smartsmssolutions.com/voiceotp-otp-classes. Custom Voice OTP class can be requested at the Custom Voice OTP class page.
Since Voice OTP is event-based, it is available primarily via the API. The Voice OTP API documentation can be assessed on our developer page. If you need any assistance implementing the Voice OTP, kindly send us an email at support@smartsmssolutions.com or call 07034243326.

Unlike the direct MTO binds ( such as the promotional, transactional, and international binds), sending SMS via the hosted SIM requires a physical SIM to deliver the messages. Messages are delivered via the phone number of the hosted SIM. The maximum delivery rate on the hosted SIM is about 10 pages per minute.
A SIM can be barred from the SMS service if it is flagged as sending too many messages. Therefore, SIM Hosting is recommended for low-volume highly personalized messaging.
