Business SMS South Africa
Useful updates.
Delivered with purpose.
Use business SMS for confirmations, reminders, service changes and approved campaigns. Choose the portal for team-managed sending or connect your business systems.
Match the message to a business event.
Order collection
“Your order is ready to collect. Please bring your order reference.” Send when the order is actually ready and keep the next step concise.
Appointment reminder
“Reminder: your appointment is tomorrow at 10:00. Contact our team if you need to change it.” Use verified details and avoid unnecessary sensitive information.
Service update
“Our opening time has changed for Friday. Please check our website before travelling.” Link to a current, mobile-friendly information page.
These are example messages. Check the final personalised text and part count in your sending workflow. Choose the web portal for team-managed sending or the API for application events; review the sending costs.
Where SMS fits in your business.
Customers
Confirm appointments, share order or service updates and explain a clear next step. Keep sensitive information out of an ordinary message where your policy requires it.
Operations
Notify employees or suppliers about relevant changes. Agree how urgent communication is escalated and which other channels support your response plan.
Customer engagement
Plan useful, permission-based campaigns around an offer or need. Prepare for replies rather than treating the send itself as the outcome.
Build a repeatable process.
Define the message
Decide whether the update is operational, promotional or part of another supported workflow. Identify the right recipients and owner.
Choose your sending route
Use the web portal, HTTPS API or supported SQL integration. Confirm the features, costs and operating responsibilities you need.
