There are couple of places to get your premium bulk sms API. These companies have direct connection and link with all the gsm operators in Nigeria and other countries. They sell in Euros and you have to pay online from their websites or through paypal. There are charges you incur each time you make a payment. Like paypal charges 4.9% of each payment. Other gateways they use on their websites charge about 2.85%.

For you to be able to make these payments, you must either have a paypal account or a bank token for internet banking. The reason for a bank token is because there are some payment gateways that demand mastercard secure code if you are using mastercard. And for you to get a mastercard secure code, you will need to make a request of certain PIN from your internet banking platform using your token to authenticate it. After that, you will be taken to the mastercard secure code website where you will register and get your secure code.

These are international bulk sms gateways you can use.

1. INFOBIP - www.infobip.com
This is a company from Netherlands. They have office in Ikeja Lagos. They are very reliable, but there pricing model for a starter is actually very high. Except you want to be selling at #2 or #2.50Kobo per sms, which is ok. There are people selling at that price and their clients are still buying from them. In bulk sms, delivery is the king, not the price. A client will be ready to pay you #3 per sms as long as the sms get delivered within seconds. If you want to use them, you can go to their website and send them a message. They will reply you and an account manager will be assigned to you and from there, things will fall into place.

PRICE MODEL:
AIRTEL - 0.0062 Euro (#1.40kobo)
ETISALAT - 0.0062 Euro (#1.40kobo)
GLO - 0.0075 Euro (#1.70kobo)
MTN - 0.0071 Euro (#1.60kobo)

2. ROUTESMS - www.routesms.com
This is an Indian company. They are very good at what they do. They have economical and premium routes. Their economical route is very cheap, but it has delivery issues. Their premium route delivers sms in 1 second. And their premium route is even cheap. There is no initial purchase. You can start with 50 Euros.

PRICE MODEL:
AIRTEL - 0.0045 Euro (#1.08kobo)
ETISALAT - 0.0045 Euro (#1.08kobo)
GLO - 0.0060 Euro (#1.34kobo)
MTN - 0.0052 Euro (#1.16kobo)

3. ARUHAT - www.aruhat.com
This is an Indian company also. They are also very reliable. But their initial purchase must be 500 Euros and their sms units have validity period.

4. CNS NETWORK - www.cs-networks.net
This is also an Indian company. They are also very good. But I remember chatting with one of their customers' support, and she told me (whether by mistake or what) that routesms is very good. We were discussing something and I mentioned routesms, and she told me that they are very good.

PRICE MODEL:
AIRTEL - 0.0050 Euro (#1.12kobo)
MTN - 0.0055 Euro (#1.23kobo)
ETISALAT - 0.0055 Euro (#1.23kobo)
GLO - 0.0050 Euro (#1.12kobo)

The pricing model of Routesms and Aruhat are almost the same. Just contact all of them and request for their pricing model. Make sure you ask them about validity period of the sms units. For instance, Aruhat will initially tell you that the sms units expire after 6 months, but if you insist, they will tell you that they will make yours not to expire. You will have to negotiate everything, including prices. Talking about prices, you cannot get a level head pricing for all the networks. Some networks will be cheaper, some will be higher. How do you get a level ground for your pricing? Just add the four prices together and divide into four and you will get a level price for each of them. Then you can now come up with your own price for your clients.

Check the sms price in Euro with the current Euro-Naira exchange rate. I did the calculation above with 1 Euro to 224 Naira.

When you have chosen the company you want after comparing and asking questions from their support team, they will create your account for you with a test sms units. You will get their HTTP API urls and integrate on your bulk sms application.

The way they credit you is not the normal way we credit people. For instance, if you pay 50 Euros, you will be credited with 50 Euros. But this 50 Euros in actual sense can send up to 9,000 sms. So as you send, they will be deducting it from your 50 Euros. For instance, let's say you have 50 Euros now and you send one sms, your balance will look like this: 49.2228 and so on.

Stay tuned...

Banks use parallel market rate.

Infobip price is too high, Have contacted them. Routesms has a base in Nigeria as well and their price is better. Not all client will want to listen to why you are selling above 1.5kobo story. This is Nigeria.
All i want is a premium route that won't cost more than 1.2 or 1.3k at most. You can imagine Infobip giving me target per month. That iI mustn't t do below a certain unit per month. Not all foreign providers are bad. I doubt if any local provider can provide good price to give room for profit . Stand to be corrected
Am also very sure local providers have foreign source as well. That's where you guys need to provide support. Show us the way!!

Don't get me wrong. Am willing to deal with any reliable foreign provider with a base in Nigeria. Not because of anything but pricing. I am sure Infobip will still be cheaper than smsnaija247.com

[color=#000099][/color] @creativeweb I am very much interested, so ur assistance is required

Cheaper pricing depends on your monthly traffic.

@ the bolded. Bros, sincerely speaking, this thread is the best way you can be shown because that particular way you desire may never be shown to you.

It's like you're simply saying "show us your secret weapon". Even me wia dey talk, I don't operate any yet; I just design. I remember approaching the owner of a reliable bulk sms website that I've been using since 2012 begging him to "show me the way". The response I received portrayed my foolishness. Then I asked myself, "would I show anyone the way if I knew a very reliable source?" Would you?

Till now I still cannot answer that question.

Anyway, I'll advice that anyone going into the business should try to build something professional, reliable and lasting... In Nigeria, we have less than 10 bulk sms firms the rest are simply websites

Respect to ojochidem and creativeweb. They're doing well.

This is getting interesting. This thread is meant to show guys the way. But if anyone chooses to do otherwise, its up to him or her. We have restated here times without number that bulk SMS biz is hinged on the Quality of service you offer and not the price. Have you stopped to think why sites like SMSLIVE have not reduced their rates since like 2011 and they are still leading the industry??

How many of the big guns come here to render advice? Everyone is guarding his or her secret jealously but @Creativeweb deemed it fit to spill it and we are backing him. Because the Sky is wide enough to contain all of us.

My thoughts exactly sir. All the 'secrets' spilled here are what another person (in fact persons) would collect nothing less than 5k to teach each person or sell tutorials for.

Okay. I really wanted to learn this stuff and one of my very good friends showed me one he was building. I was thrilled by the design and professionalism it was oozing. I 'begged' to come over to his place wherever he was staying in Lagos to spend the weekend and learn. He told me he had not the time and asked me to go search Creativeweb on nairaland. I did and landed on this thread.

ANYONE who encounters this thread, has nothing to worry about if only the instructions here are followed.

It was later on I realised that the firm I work with is a customer to kudisms and also got to know ojochidem runs it. Now that's what I call a firm. Very professional. Big business will approach you. Price is not a problem. Get your quality right and the rest will be bright.

Imagine coming to your website, sending 15,000 SMS messages and I included my number and let's say 2 of my colleagues number. After sending the SMS, I did not get any message immediately. The next day, I get it, 20 hours later one of my colleagues gets the message and the next day, my next colleague gets it. What sort of quality is that? If I don't get good conversion, mehn, I'll try the next vendor even if he charges N2 so long my leads convert quickly due to fast delivery.

So, don't compromise on quality and professionalism. They make you a firm and not just a website. There are tons of bulk SMS websites out there but just 2% to 3% are real businesses making good profit, building a name and becoming strong firms.

well spoken it all depends on ones approach on this business so many people see Bulksms business as just owning a website while others see it as a firm which needs to deliver quality service . i started with bulksms seeing it as a website before i met creativeweb ojochidem and semasir, then my ideology changed ..when i wanted to even start at first i used a cracked version of spc4 thinking its cool that way..but everything went down ..for like 4-5 months was down and den i had like 50 clients .....so later on i made a bold step i read through this thread from the first letter to the end ..then i brought out a book wrote down my account balance and mapped out how to spend it on reviving
i paid for a premium template first then i bought spc4 paid for another larger hosting package ....then i started a new bulksms firm (not a website this time) my mistakes has been my stepping stone ....i can tell u am doing very well now if open my admin panel for u ...u go suprise.......and i started using a nigeria gateway few months ago i switched to a foreign gateway..so what am trying to say is that whateva you are doing in this business just do it well . because when you stand out on what you do .you get standard customers ....the sky is very large to contain everyone . God bless

GREAT TESTIMONY...God bless your hustle.

Thanks..... It's pays those who serve most. Bulk SMS is really challenging and rewarding if you are willing to give in. Kudos rolexsms, even though I've been in this line for a while, I learnt a few from you as well.

Your negotiation skills can be a factor too to the pricing offered. Calculating the processing fees and charges may make you stay put with a local provider with quality over quantity pricing
