SMS from the same account as your voice

Application-to-person SMS is the text message your platform sends to a customer: a verification code, a delivery update, an appointment reminder. Callivex sends it from the account you already use for calls, from a sender your customers recognise, with a receipt for every message.

Verification codes

One-time passcodes for sign-in, sign-up and payment confirmation. Send the code with one call to the API, or let us generate and check it for you.

Alerts and notifications

Order confirmations, delivery windows, appointment reminders, account and security alerts. Each message carries a delivery receipt back to your system.

A sender you own

Messages arrive from your brand name or from a number on your account. Per-country sender rules are handled for you.

One request to send, one receipt back

The API is small on purpose. Send a message, or send a verification code and check the answer. Delivery status is posted to your endpoint as it changes, and every message is listed in the console with its state and cost.

  • Send, list and look up messages over HTTPS with a per-account key
  • Verification codes generated, sent and checked for you if you prefer
  • Delivery receipts posted to your webhook; full history in the console
  • Long messages split and joined correctly, in any alphabet
  • Console page for one-off sends and a per-account API key

One account, one set of rules

SMS is switched on for an account you already have, not sold as a separate product with its own login. Calls and messages share one console, one set of records and one team.

  • Per-segment pricing by destination country, quoted with your voice rates
  • One console for calls and messages, with usage in real time
  • Sender identities set up for you; new ones added on request
  • Built for codes, alerts and reminders your customers expect
  • Same 24-hour network operations centre for delivery faults

Switching it on

SMS is added to an account that already exists, or requested alongside voice when you apply.

  1. Tell us what you send. Verification codes, alerts or reminders, the countries you send to and a rough monthly volume.
  2. Sender set-up. We register the brand name or number you want messages to come from and confirm what each destination country permits.
  3. Key and test. Your API key appears in the console. Send a handful of test messages and watch the receipts arrive.
  4. Live. Rates for your destinations are added to your account and messages start flowing.
