The four questions this page answers

  1. 1

    What you buy

    A fixed-price, one-off remote build connecting your system to an SMS provider you hold an account with, so it can send transactional messages — confirmations, one-time codes, reminders — and know whether they arrived. It depends on that provider’s API and on their approval of your sender ID, so we check feasibility before development starts.

What is this, in plain English?

A fixed-price, one-off remote build connecting your system to an SMS provider you hold an account with, so it can send transactional messages — confirmations, one-time codes, reminders — and know whether they arrived. It depends on that provider’s API and on their approval of your sender ID, so we check feasibility before development starts.

SMS costs money per message, which makes it the one channel where a runaway loop is immediately expensive. This integration includes send limits, deduplication and a spend view alongside the basics of templating, sender ID and delivery reporting, so you get the reliability of SMS without an unpleasant invoice.

The problem it solves

You need to send codes or reminders by SMS, and doing it through a web console by hand does not work at any real volume.

If that does not describe you, this is probably the wrong product. Tell us and we will point you at a better fit rather than sell you the nearest one.

What you get

The concrete things that exist at the end and that you own.

What does it do?

Everything listed here is delivered as part of this product. Nothing on this list is aspirational.

  • Delivery report capture per message
  • Send rate limits and duplicate suppression

How it works

The delivery sequence from order to handover.

  1. 1

    Feasibility review

    We confirm your chosen provider’s API supports the message types and delivery reporting you need in your countries, before any development starts.

  2. 2

    Select and register

    Provider account confirmed and sender ID submitted for registration. Approval sits with the provider and the networks, and it often takes longer than the build itself.

  3. 3

    Build templates

    Message templates with the variables your system supplies.

  4. 4

    Add safety limits

    Rate caps and duplicate suppression so a bug cannot spend your balance.

  5. 5

    Capture delivery reports

    Each message’s outcome is recorded, not assumed.

  6. 6

    Report on cost

    You can see spend by message type and period.

Delivery & fulfilment

Stream Edge Solutions ships nothing. Every package on this site is carried out and handed over remotely — this is exactly what happens after you order.

  2. 2We build and configure remotelySetup, configuration and testing are done by our team over a remote connection — on your systems or on ours, whichever the package specifies.
  3. 3We hand it overYou receive the working setup, the credentials, the documentation and a walkthrough. Everything built for you is yours at handover.

Full detail of how work is handed over, what happens if requirements are outstanding and how order records are kept is in the Delivery & Fulfilment Policy.

What we need from you

Nothing starts until these are in place, and the turnaround above is measured from that point — not from the moment you pay.

  • An SMS provider account and API credentials in your own business name, with credit purchased by you
  • A registered or registrable sender ID — approval is the provider’s and the networks’ decision
  • A system able to trigger the sends
  • Acceptance that delivery depends on the provider’s API; we are not a reseller, aggregator or partner of any SMS provider

Who this is for

  • Businesses sending appointment or payment reminders
  • Systems needing one-time verification codes
  • Delivery or logistics operations updating customers
  • Anyone whose customers do not reliably read email

Business needs this addresses: Manage customers, Integrate systems

What's not included

Just as plainly as the list above: the things this package is not.

  • SMS credit — bought directly from your provider in your own name
  • Sender ID registration fees and approval, which the provider and the networks control, not us
  • Message types or delivery reporting the provider’s API does not expose in your countries. The feasibility review flags this before development starts; if it blocks the job we rescope or cancel under the refund policy
  • Bulk marketing campaigns to purchased lists, which we will not implement
  • Guaranteed delivery, which depends on the mobile networks

Anything outside the scope above is quoted separately, in writing, before it is carried out. Nothing is added to your bill without your agreement.

FAQs

How much does SMS cost?

It varies by country and provider, typically a few cents per message. You buy credit directly from the provider — we do not resell it or take a margin on your traffic.

Can we send marketing SMS?

To people who have opted in, yes, and opt-out handling is included. We will not build sending to purchased or scraped lists.

Refund & cancellation

What happens if you change your mind, and what happens to money already paid.

Cooling-off before work starts
You have 7 days after ordering to cancel while work has not yet begun. Up to 25% may be retained to cover scoping and scheduling already carried out.
Work already done
Once delivery has started, refunds are assessed against the work completed and the deliverables already handed over — the list under “what you get” above is what that assessment is made against. Approved refunds are processed within 14 days.
If we cannot deliver what is described here
You are refunded. The scope on this page is the scope we are held to, which is exactly why the exclusions above are stated before you buy rather than after.

The full terms, item type by item type, are in the Refund & Cancellation Policy. How the work reaches you is covered by the Delivery & Fulfilment Policy.
