The family

One sender for each message category

Messages fall into three categories: authentication, utility, and marketing. Each gets its own pre-approved sender. Belio OTP covers authentication and is available today; the other two are on the way.

These are a starting set, not a limit. You can create your own template in the cloud portal and link it to Belio OTP. Belio reviews it first to confirm the category matches, then it is sendable like any other.

How it works

Three steps, no paperwork

Get started

Enable It

Pick the pre-approved sender you need from the services menu in your portal. There are no documents to submit and nothing to draft, just a one-off flat fee.

One-off flat fee
02

Activated Instantly

The sender is already registered with the networks, so there is no operator review to wait on. Your account is cleared to send as soon as payment clears.

No admin wait
03

Send With a Template

Start with one of Belio's pre-approved templates, or create your own in the portal and link it to the sender. Supply the parameters from your app and send.

Benefits

Why start with a pre-approved sender

Instant Activation

Nothing to register and no operator queue. Pay the one-off fee and the sender is live on your account straight away, which helps when a launch will not wait.

One-Off Flat Fee

A single payment to enable the sender, charged once. There is no monthly subscription, no per-network fee, and no renewal to budget for.

No Documents Needed

Skip the certificate of incorporation and the authorisation letter. Because the sender is already registered by Belio, none of the usual paperwork applies to you.

Get Moving Sooner

Prove out your messaging flow end to end while you decide, separately, whether a branded alphanumeric sender ID is worth registering for your business.

Matched to a Category

Each pre-approved sender is registered under one message category: authentication, utility, or marketing. Messages are then routed and treated appropriately by the networks.

Templates Ready to Go

Belio's pre-approved templates work the moment the sender is enabled, so nothing stands between you and your first send. Add your own when you need to.

FAQ

Common questions

A pre-approved sender is a shared sender name that Belio registers and maintains with the mobile networks. Because the registration is already done, you can enable one and start sending immediately, without submitting company documents or waiting on operator approval.
