Send your first SMS in under 5 minutes

The SMS API for developers in Ghana.

Deliver SMS at scale from a single, elegant API. Built for developers who ship fast and expect absolute reliability.

Infrastructure you can trust.

Carrier contracts, sender ID registration, delivery reporting — the parts of SMS that slow a launch down are already handled. You send one request.

One API, every local network

MTN, Telecel, and AirtelTigo sit behind a single endpoint. No per-carrier contracts, no separate gateways, no separate credit balances to reconcile.

Your brand as the sender

Register a sender ID per project and messages arrive from your business name instead of a random number — on every supported network, not just one.

Status on every message

Delivery receipts are included as standard, and a webhook fires on each state change — so you know when a message is queued, sent, delivered, or failed.

Developer first

Integrate in minutes, not months.

One authenticated POST and your message is on its way. Nothing to install, no SOAP gateway, no carrier paperwork — just HTTP and a sender ID you register once.

Frequently asked questions.

Everything you need to know about sending SMS in Ghana with Sailup.

What is Sailup?

Sailup is a messaging platform for Ghana with a developer-first SMS API. Send transactional or marketing SMS to any local network — MTN, Telecel, and AirtelTigo — at ₵0.02 per message, either from the Sailup dashboard or through a single REST API. A branded email API is coming soon.

How much does it cost to send SMS in Ghana with Sailup?

Sailup charges ₵0.02 per SMS, billed per 160-character segment, with no monthly fees or setup costs. You buy credits up front and pay only for what you send. Volume discounts are available for high-volume senders.

Which networks does Sailup deliver to?

Sailup delivers to every major Ghanaian network, including MTN, Telecel, and AirtelTigo, through a single endpoint — no per-carrier contracts and no separate credit balances. Delivery receipts and real-time status webhooks are included on every message.

Can I send SMS with my own brand name as the sender?

Yes. You can register a custom sender ID for each project, so messages arrive with your brand name instead of a phone number. Registered sender IDs work across all supported Ghanaian networks.

Does Sailup have an email API?

A branded email API is coming soon at ₵0.005 per email, with dedicated sending IPs, open and click tracking, and unsubscribe handling. SMS is fully available today; email credits will be purchased separately when it launches.

How do I start sending SMS with Sailup?

Create a free account, create a project, and register a sender ID. From there you can send your first message straight from the dashboard, or generate an API key and send it with a single POST request. Either way most people are sending in under five minutes, and there are no setup fees.

Do I need to write code to send SMS with Sailup?

No. Every project comes with a dashboard where you can pick a sender ID, paste or type your recipients, write your message, and send — no API key or code required. The REST API is there when you want sending built into your own app, and both routes share the same credits, sender IDs, and delivery reporting.

Can I send bulk SMS to a list of contacts?

Yes. Import your contacts from a CSV or Excel file — mapping your columns to Sailup fields as you go — or add them by hand, then create a campaign that sends to a saved list or to numbers you type in. Personalize each message with merge fields like {{first_name}}, send right away, or save it as a draft to finish later.
