Why use MessageBird SMS

MessageBird supports SMS traffic at all volumes through reliable, streamlined global messaging routes. As a licensed carrier with over 900 direct or one-hop connections and 15,000 customers sending traffic all over the world daily, we have the infrastructure to power business communications at any scale.

The Optimal Messaging Platform

Our SMS API operates atop a fully redundant, highly secure telco stack which we’ve developed in-house. Thanks to our carrier license, our platform achieves higher and faster delivery rates than our non-carrier competitors, supports all country feature capabilities, hosts direct lines of communication with other operators, and enables better support.

SmartRouting

Along with our telco stack and APIs, we’ve also built a SmartRouting engine to ensure that each message being sent through our platform travels via the optimum route for speed and deliverability. Equipped with our ever-expanding routing profiles and carrier connections, our SmartRouting algorithms are the key to affordably scaling your SMS communications.

Easy-to-use API

Our REST API is built for usability and simple integration. Once you’ve read through our SMS documentation, you’ll have all the knowledge you need to implement messaging capabilities in your database and put our wide range of features to use. And, should any issues arise, our team is here to help every step of the way.
