Telerivet API

Communications · Development Tools

Telerivet is a cloud messaging and automation platform that enables sending and receiving SMS, voice calls, and mobile messages through an Android phone acting as a local gateway or through integrated telecom APIs and aggregators. Telerivet's unique approach uses Android smartphones as SMS gateways, allowing businesses in developing markets to send messages at local SIM card rates rather than enterprise SMS API pricing, which can be particularly cost-effective for Nigerian organizations sending high volumes of messages.

Telerivet API Highlights

Telerivet API is verified for developer integrations in Nigeria and across African markets, providing documented endpoints, sandbox testing, and developer support.
