$res = $http->post('https://api.apiservices.io/sms/send', [
    'headers' => ['Authorization' => 'Bearer ' . $apiKey],
    'json'    => [

    ],
]);

$data = json_decode($res->getBody(), true);
echo $data['status']; // "delivered"
// Step 1: Send OTP
$sendRes = $http->post('https://api.apiservices.io/sms/otp/send', [

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our SMS API service.

We support SMS delivery to 190+ countries worldwide through direct carrier agreements and Tier-1 routing partners. Coverage includes North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. A full country coverage list is available in your dashboard. Delivery rates and costs vary by country — transactional routes are prioritized for maximum speed.
To prevent abuse, OTP sends are rate-limited per phone number: by default, 5 OTP requests per number per hour. You can configure custom expiry durations (60s–3600s) and code lengths (4–8 digits). Our system automatically handles session management and invalidates previous codes when a new one is requested.
Yes. Bulk SMS is supported on all plans. You can upload contact lists via CSV, API, or manual entry. Messages are dispatched through our high-throughput pipeline that handles millions of messages per hour. You can also schedule bulk sends for a future date/time and monitor delivery in real time through the dashboard.
We support GSM-7 (standard Latin alphabet, up to 160 characters/SMS), UCS-2 for Unicode text including Arabic, Chinese, emoji, and Cyrillic (up to 70 characters/SMS), and automatic multi-part (concatenated) SMS for longer messages. Character counting and cost estimation are available in real time via our API's dry-run endpoint.
