Delivery and DND Information
Our bulk SMS service delivers messages to all Nigerian networks with high delivery rates. Messages are sent through premium routes that ensure fast delivery - most messages arrive within 5-30 seconds of sending.
DND (Do Not Disturb): Some Nigerian phone numbers have DND activated, which blocks promotional SMS. Our platform automatically detects DND numbers before sending, so you only pay for deliverable messages. For transactional messages (OTPs, confirmations), DND does not apply and messages are delivered to all numbers.
API Integration for Developers
Bigisub offers a REST API for developers who want to integrate bulk SMS into their applications. The API supports single and batch message sending, delivery status callbacks, contact list management, and scheduled messaging. Documentation and API keys are available from your Bigisub dashboard after registration.
Integration is straightforward - a simple POST request with your API key, recipient numbers, sender name, and message body. Response includes message IDs for delivery tracking. Support for popular frameworks and languages including Python, PHP, Node.js, and Java.
