Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about BCOM SMS and how it fits with bCom Africa.

What is BCOM SMS?

BCOM SMS is the enterprise bulk messaging platform from bCom Africa. Send marketing campaigns, OTPs, payment alerts, and system notifications from one dashboard or API. Credits are pay-as-you-go with live delivery reports on every message.

What is bulky SMS and how is it different from bulk SMS?

Bulky SMS and bulk SMS mean the same thing — high-volume text messaging to many recipients at once. BCOM SMS handles scheduling, batching, and delivery tracking automatically so your team can focus on message content, not infrastructure.

Is BCOM SMS the same as bCom Africa?

BCOM SMS is the dedicated messaging product built by bCom Africa. Your account, billing, sender IDs, and support are managed under the BCOM SMS brand while benefiting from bCom's regional network partnerships and compliance experience.

How do I send SMS in Africa with BCOM?

Create a free account, complete the three-step registration, and use your try-outs to test delivery. Purchase credits via mobile money, register your sender ID, then send from the dashboard or request a free API key and integrate REST, HTTP GET, form POST, or XML.

Is there a BCOM SMS API?

Yes. Request API on the BCOM API page — there is no plan fee. The key is generated immediately and linked to your account. Send with REST JSON, HTTP GET, form POST, or XML. Credits are deducted from your dashboard wallet.

Can I resell BCOM SMS to my own clients?

Yes. Agencies and software vendors can resell BCOM SMS under their own brand and pricing. Buy wholesale credits, onboard sub-accounts, and manage billing through the operations center or API integrations.

How does billing and credit top-up work?

Buy a credit pack — Starter, Growth, Popular, Best Fit, or Enterprise. Larger packs unlock a lower rate, from TZS 25 per SMS down to TZS 19. Pay via M-Pesa or Mixx by Yas using the reference shown at checkout. Credits are added once payment is confirmed and unused credits do not expire.

Is BCOM SMS built to scale?

Yes. BCOM SMS is a full SaaS platform — registration, wallets, sender IDs, dashboards, and APIs are owned by bCom Africa. Messages route through enterprise SMS infrastructure today, with architecture ready for direct mobile-network connections as volume grows.
