Connect South African campaigns to the customer relationship
The starting point for our South Africa service is the reason the customer should receive the message. A subscribed promotion, a collection notification and an appointment reminder each need a different message flow. We organise the campaign around that relationship.
Language choice and local service areas shape the final text. We work with your chosen versions and customer segments, then review message length, dispatch timing and the response or unsubscribe route before quoting the send.

How we quote South Africa bulk SMS
Our quotation follows the proposed route, number of recipients, message text and sending pattern. It sets out the sending volume, billable segments and any applicable sender setup charges. We agree route availability and sender conditions before launch.
| Quotation detail | What we review |
|---|---|
| Audience and volume | Destination, recipient count, campaign frequency and expected traffic peaks. |
| Message and encoding | Final wording, language, links and personalised values that determine segment length. |
| Sender and workflow | Sender identity, registration needs, schedule and any requested application integration. |
| Reporting and support | Available delivery statuses, failure handling and the agreed support arrangements. |
A standard single SMS commonly holds up to 160 GSM-7 characters or 70 UCS-2 characters. Longer messages use multiple segments, with less space in each part. We price the final text and the selected route’s actual limits.
Sending results your team can use
We agree the delivery-reporting scope as part of the service setup. Network results can distinguish delivered, failed, pending or expired messages where the route supplies those statuses. A delivery status describes the sending outcome; it does not establish that the recipient read the message.
For recurring customer communication, the operating brief also covers failed-message handling, campaign frequency and how new opt-outs reach the suppression workflow.
South Africa sender identity and messaging permissions
South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information Act, including section 69 on unsolicited electronic direct marketing, is relevant to SMS promotions. We review permission, sender identification and withdrawal handling as part of the brief.
Our campaign preparation brings together the business identity, recipient permission records, message purpose and a workable unsubscribe or customer-contact route. We coordinate these requirements with the sending arrangement agreed for the service.
Our removal and suppression contact route supports record enquiries. For questions about a specific SMS programme, contact our SMS service team.

Yes. Send the trigger, application workflow, expected traffic and status-reporting needs. Our team reviews the integration scope and available sending arrangement for the use case.
