“We replaced a multi-vendor OTP stack with one BroadNet contract. Failure rate dropped 62% on the first month and the audit log answered every question our regulator asked.”

Scope: one tier-one Gulf bank's OTP traffic, 5M+ a month. Baseline: its previous single-channel SMS OTP. Period: the first month after migration.

“BroadNet's firewall + monetization stack recovered 23% of A2P revenue in year one. The fact that the same vendor sells our enterprise customers their CPaaS is why the numbers actually match the reports.”

Scope: one MENA operator's A2P SMS estate. Baseline: leakage of over a quarter of expected A2P revenue, per the operator's internal audits. Period: the first year after deployment.

Delivery accountability

Follow a message from request to receipt.

Every message passes nine checkpoints between your API call and the delivery receipt. Replay one below: pick a destination and an outcome to see the route, the operator reached, the latency of each hop and the final receipt.

Markets

Built for the rules of every market you enter.

Each country page covers the regulator, sender-ID rules, reference pricing and the operators we route to directly, starting with in-region depth across MENA.

  • Sender IDs registered and renewed for you
  • Invoicing in AED, SAR, USD or EUR
  • Engineers in the region, on your time zone

Test a message. Plan production.

REST and SMPP 3.4, an official TypeScript SDK and an OpenAPI 3.1 spec. Test with your own verified number; before production we review sender identity, traffic purpose and destination requirements.

Quick answer

Founded in Beirut, Lebanon in 2003 and headquartered in Dubai, BroadNet delivers critical enterprise messages (OTPs, alerts and conversations) to 200+ countries over 1,000+ direct operator connections, using a direct route wherever one is commercially available, and deploys SMS and signaling firewalls, SIM-box detection and A2P monetization inside mobile operator networks.

Best for

Banks, fintech, operators, ecommerce, government, healthcare, travel, logistics, platforms, and high-volume senders that need reliable messaging, fraud protection, compliance support, and same-day operator escalation.

Key capabilities

Messaging APIs, SMPP, OTP, SMS Firewall, SS7 Firewall, sender ID governance, route intelligence, DLR monitoring, omnichannel journeys, eSIM enablement, and enterprise support.

Common questions

Answers up front,
before any contract.

Direct wherever it is commercially available. BroadNet holds 1,000+ direct operator connections; where a direct route is not available, traffic goes over a partner-managed route that is labelled as such, never presented as direct. Each coverage page lists the operators in that country with the route status of each, and your console logs the route, latency and outcome of every message.

Per message, per destination operator — the rate depends on the country, the operator and the route it takes. We publish reference rates by market and a calculator rather than quoting only on request, volume tiers apply automatically above 100K a month, and there is no platform fee.

Most enterprises go from request to production in 5–15 business days, on a five-step path: we reply within one business day with test credentials, your first test message goes out about five minutes after you have them, integration takes 2–5 business days while approval (sender identity, traffic purpose and sender-ID registration) runs in parallel in 3–10, and then production is switched on. Markets with longer regulator timelines take longer. Our six-step onboarding playbook is the same path with an owner and deliverables for each step, plus commercial setup in parallel and monthly optimization after go-live.

Message metadata and delivery records are retained under a documented retention policy, and regional deployments are available for customers with data-residency obligations — including GDPR in Europe and PDPL in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Message content is not retained beyond what delivery and receipt reconciliation require. The specifics are contractual and covered in the DPA, which we will share before signature rather than after.

A 99.99% platform availability SLA, with service credits and escalation paths written into the contract. When a route misbehaves you reach a named telecom engineer: a P1 incident gets a response within 15 minutes, 24/7, and our engineers work in the region, on your time zone. Traffic runs across redundant operator connections, so one route degrading does not become your outage: it re-routes, and the delivery monitoring shows you it happened.

Exactly like everyone else's. BroadNet's own enterprise traffic reaches subscribers through the same firewall and the same rules as every other sender, with no vendor exemption. The operator's teams own the ruleset: changes are version-controlled and need a second approver, and false-positive whitelists are operator-controlled. Every decision is logged with the rule that fired, so a dispute about BroadNet traffic is settled against the same records as any other.

Either. Enterprises typically start with the REST API or SMPP for messaging traffic. Operators deploy our firewall and registry products inside their networks. Many customers use both layers.

SMS pumping, also called artificially inflated traffic, is fraud where a party drives one-time-passcode requests to numbers on routes they profit from. The messages are real and billable; the users are not. We score every message at nine checkpoints, watch for the destination-range and velocity patterns that distinguish pumping from genuine signups, and can block or challenge before the message is submitted — which is the only point at which it is still free to stop.
