SMS & USSD API · For Africa and beyond
Afriping is building a messaging infrastructure for Africa — an SMS API, a USSD gateway, OTP verification, and a developer platform that makes all of it feel like one well-written sentence. Built in Africa. Available beyond.
SMS and USSD are not legacy. They are the primary interface for a billion mobile-money wallets, a million agent tills, and every customer who prefers a feature phone. Afriping treats them that way — as first-class infrastructure, not checkbox features.
Transactional, promotional, and two-way messages. Unicode across French, English, Swahili, Kinyarwanda, Lingala, and Arabic. Automatic GSM-7 / UCS-2 segmentation — so a single emoji doesn't quietly triple your bill.
Hosted session state modelled as a finite-state machine — write session.state = 'awaiting_pin', not a brittle string parser. Visual flow builder for non-developers, shared and dedicated short-codes, and a programmatic API for dynamic flows.
Turnkey OTP with rate limiting, replay protection, and fallback routing across operators. Voice-call delivery as a last resort for numbers where SMS keeps bouncing. One endpoint; we handle the choreography.
Idiomatic SDKs, signed webhooks with idempotency keys and exponential backoff, a sandbox you can hit without a sales call, and a hosted dashboard that treats campaigns, sender IDs, and delivery receipts as the same first-class objects.
Drop your email and we'll reach out when sandbox access and documentation go live. No launch countdown, no spam — just one message when it matters.
