Sign-up, password reset, transaction confirmation, withdrawal authorization. The same endpoint handles them all.

  • Single POST /api/v1/sms/send with the user's phone + your 6-digit code.

  • Sub-5s median delivery on both networks.

  • Refund-on-failure means OTP retries don't bleed your wallet.

  • Per-key audit so you can split fintech vs marketing traffic accounting.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How fast are OTP messages delivered on MTN and Airtel Uganda?

Median end-to-end delivery is 3-5 seconds on MTN and 4-7 seconds on Airtel. We prioritize OTP traffic on dedicated routing.

What happens if an OTP fails to deliver?

Failed sends are refunded to the wallet automatically inside the same request lifecycle. Wesendall returns a 502 with an error code so your backend knows to fall back to a voice OTP or alternate channel.

Can I generate the OTP server-side, or do you do that?

You generate the code (so it never leaves your control), pass it in the message body, and we deliver it. Most teams use a 4-6 digit code with a 5-10 minute TTL.

Is OTP traffic priced differently?

No — same UGX 35 / UGX 32 in volume per SMS unit. No premium for OTP routing. If you need committed throughput we can negotiate volume pricing.
