Business Bulk SMS
High-volume SMS delivery built for business — promotional campaigns, transactional notifications, and operational alerts delivered across 190+ countries with enterprise-grade reliability.
Promotional SMS
Promotional SMS is one of the highest-converting marketing channels available — with open rates exceeding 95% and most messages read within three minutes of delivery. Our promotional SMS platform gives businesses the tools to run high-volume campaigns with precise audience targeting, sender branding, and real-time performance reporting.
Whether you are a retailer pushing a flash sale, a restaurant promoting a lunch offer, or a financial services firm announcing a new product, SMS marketing delivers your message directly into the hands of your audience. Our infrastructure handles millions of messages per hour without queuing delays, and our compliance engine manages opt-outs and DND registrations automatically across all markets.

Transactional SMS
Transactional SMS messages are expected by your customers — they trigger on a real event and carry information the recipient needs right now. A delayed order confirmation, a failed shipping notification, or a missed payment alert all erode trust. Our transactional routing prioritises speed and reliability above all else, with direct Tier-1 paths and automatic retry logic ensuring near-certain delivery.
Unlike promotional messages, transactional SMS is typically exempt from marketing consent requirements in most jurisdictions, making it suitable for sending to existing customers without opt-in friction. We support API-triggered sends so your system can fire messages the instant an event occurs — order placed, payment received, parcel dispatched, appointment confirmed.

Alerts and Notifications
SMS cuts through where email fails. System downtime alerts, security notifications, appointment reminders, and service updates all need immediate attention — and SMS delivers with a 98% read rate. Our alerting platform integrates with monitoring tools, scheduling systems, CRMs, and custom applications to automate notification delivery across your entire operation.
We support both bulk notification sends (e.g. service outage announcement to all customers) and individual triggered alerts (e.g. a server alert to your on-call engineer). Two-way SMS capability means recipients can acknowledge or respond, enabling confirmation workflows for appointments, deliveries, and escalations.

Bulk SMS — Frequently Asked Questions
What is bulk SMS and how does it work?
Bulk SMS is the process of sending large volumes of SMS messages simultaneously to a list of mobile numbers. A business connects to an SMS gateway provider like SBS TELECOM via API or web platform, uploads a contact list or triggers sends programmatically, and the gateway routes each message through carrier networks to the recipient's handset. Delivery receipts confirm whether each message was successfully delivered.
What is the difference between promotional and transactional SMS?
Promotional SMS is sent for marketing purposes — offers, campaigns, announcements — and typically requires prior consent from the recipient. Transactional SMS is triggered by a specific customer action or event, such as an order confirmation or payment receipt, and is generally exempt from marketing consent requirements. We support both types with separate routing configurations optimised for each use case.
How quickly are bulk SMS messages delivered?
Most messages are delivered within 3–10 seconds on Tier-1 routes. Transactional messages on priority routing can arrive sub-second. Delivery times can vary by destination country and network, but our platform monitors route quality in real time and automatically switches to the best available path.
Can I send bulk SMS to multiple countries at once?
Yes. SBS TELECOM provides coverage across 190+ countries and territories from a single account. You can include international numbers in the same send — our platform applies the correct routing, formatting, and compliance rules for each destination automatically.
How do you handle opt-outs and DND compliance?
Our platform manages opt-outs automatically. When a recipient replies STOP (or a local equivalent), they are suppressed from future sends immediately. We also maintain and enforce Do Not Disturb (DND) registry suppression for applicable markets, and provide full audit logs of opt-out events for compliance reporting.
What volume of messages can you handle?
Our infrastructure is built for enterprise scale. We process hundreds of millions of messages per month for customers ranging from SMEs to global enterprises. High-throughput campaigns and sudden burst volumes are handled without throttling or queueing delays. Contact our team to discuss your specific volume requirements and we will size the right solution.
