Custom routing rules. Configure country-specific routing, fallback providers, and delivery preferences to optimize authentication success rates and costs.

Phone number verification. Capture and verify real mobile numbers at WiFi login, ensuring authenticated contact databases for marketing and communication campaigns.

RESTful API integration. Standard REST API architecture provides reliable OTP delivery with webhook callbacks for delivery status tracking and error handling.

Delivery monitoring. Track SMS delivery rates, latency, and costs by provider and destination to optimize routing rules and budget allocation.
