Sendozi Transactional SMS review
A focused Nigerian SMS API for OTPs, alerts and delivery tracking.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Sendozi Transactional SMS provides API-based transactional and OTP messaging for Nigerian businesses and institutions. Developers can send one-time passwords, payment alerts, order updates and account notifications through an HTTP API, while a browser dashboard supports delivery records, wallet management and sender-ID workflows. The service is available through web and API access, with messages sent to Nigerian mobile numbers through a prepaid naira wallet. It is aimed at teams that need focused outbound SMS rather than a broader messaging environment.
The strongest operational features center on delivery control. Idempotency keys support retry-safe sends, which is useful for transactional workflows where duplicate messages can create confusion. Per-recipient delivery status and timelines provide visibility into message outcomes, while signed delivery webhooks can send delivery events back to an application. Sender ID registration support and route checks address the setup requirements for branded transactional messages. The published plan also includes transactional and promotional routes, per-recipient delivery reports and webhooks, giving teams a single pay-as-you-go option for these capabilities.
Pricing is straightforward: the SMS pay-as-you-go plan is listed at 7 NGN per page, with prepaid naira wallet billing. There is no free plan, so teams should be prepared to fund the wallet before sending. Sendozi is a good fit for Nigerian organizations that prioritize OTPs, alerts, account notifications and delivery visibility through an API. It is less suitable for teams that need two-way messaging, conversational replies or a broader multi-country messaging platform. The product’s narrow focus can be an advantage when Nigerian transactional delivery is the central requirement, but buyers seeking inbound SMS workflows should choose an alternative.
