OTP & Transactional SMS

Security codes should never wait in line behind a marketing campaign.

e-Gab gives OTP and transactional messages a dedicated unit balance — completely separate from your marketing pool — so a login code is never competing with a promotional blast for capacity. From ₦7.20 per unit, down to ₦4.90 at volume.

  • Dedicated OTP balance
  • Delivered in seconds
  • Auto retry on failure
  • Full audit trail

Built for security-critical sends

A pool of its own, so nothing else touches your OTP capacity

  • Dedicated transactional unit balance, topped up and tracked independently of marketing units.
  • Sent over the same audited pipeline that powers Bulk SMS, with delivery status on every code.
  • Automatic retry on temporary gateway failures, before a send is ever marked as failed.
  • Uses your approved sender ID, so a genuine code is visually distinguishable from a phishing SMS.
Integrate in an afternoon

One REST call to send. One webhook to know it arrived.

  • HTTP REST API with keys issued from your dashboard the moment you create an account.
  • Inbound delivery-status webhook pushes every state change straight into your system.
  • Encoding and segment detection, so a code with a long brand prefix never silently costs double.
  • Every attempt logged with the raw provider payload, for disputed-verification audits.

OTP FAQs

What engineering teams ask us first

Transactional and OTP SMS starts at ₦7.20 per unit and falls to ₦4.90 per unit at our highest published volume tier. It is prepaid and pay-as-you-go, on a unit balance kept separate from your marketing SMS pool.

Transactional traffic is a different class of message: it is triggered by a user action, it is time-critical, and it must not compete with a marketing campaign for capacity. e-Gab gives it a dedicated unit balance and its own rate card so a promotional blast can never drain the pool your logins depend on.

OTP messages go out over the same audited delivery pipeline as Bulk SMS, on direct routes to MTN, Airtel, Glo and 9mobile. Codes typically land within seconds, and every send carries a delivery status you can query.

Yes. Send codes through the HTTP REST API and receive delivery-status updates on an inbound webhook. API keys are available from your dashboard as soon as your account is created.

Yes. OTP messages use your approved sender ID, so a verification code arrives under your business name — which is exactly what helps users tell a genuine code from a phishing attempt.

Temporary gateway failures are retried automatically before the message is ever marked as failed. Every attempt and status change is recorded, including the raw provider payload, so you can audit any disputed verification.
