Built for how Tanzanian teams actually use SMS.

Pledge tracking, automatic reminders, payment thank-yous, scheduled drips, keyword auto-replies — out of the box, no integration work.

🎯

Pledge drives & reminders NEW

Track who pledged what — for a church harambee, sendoff, wedding kitchen, or fundraiser. Set "remind every Sunday at 5 PM until paid" and the system handles it. Real pledgers stop getting reminders the moment they fulfill.

🔁

Recurring SMS

Same message, every day / every Sunday / every 1st of the month — set once and walk away. Service times, prayer reminders, payday alerts, daily devotions.

🤖

Keyword auto-replies

Customer texts "PRICE" → they get your price list. Texts "STOP" → opted out automatically. Texts "INFO" → branch directions. Set rules once, runs 24/7.

💸

Payment thank-you SMS NEW

When a pledger pays — partial or full — they get an automatic "Asante kwa kupunguza TZS 50,000, imebaki TZS…" thank-you. No manual follow-up. Builds trust instantly.

📅

Unified schedule view NEW

One page lists every auto-sending SMS — pledge drives, recurring, auto-replies — with the next run time. Know exactly what's scheduled to fire and when.

📄

PDF drive reports NEW

Pakua ripoti ya mchango as a print-ready PDF — pledger list, amounts, paid vs outstanding, progress bar. Hand it to the church treasurer or fundraising committee, no Excel acrobatics needed.

🧪

Test SMS before launch

About to send to 500 people? Test it to your own phone first — verify sender ID, sample render, and encoding. Catch broken templates before they hit your audience.

🧮

Live SMS cost counter NEW

As you type, see exactly how many SMS your message will cost — including the projection across all your recipients. Catches "smart quotes" pasted from Word that silently triple your cost.

📚

Swahili template library

Pre-built Swahili & English templates for reminders, payment thanks, recurring. Pick, tweak, send. Don't reinvent "Habari {{name}}, salio ni TZS…" every time.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can SanyaSMS handle church / event fundraising drives (pledges)?
Yes — that's exactly what the Pledge drives feature is for. Create a drive (e.g. "Harambee ya Ujenzi 2026"), import the pledger list from Excel (Name · Phone · Amount), set a reminder cadence (e.g. every Sunday at 5 PM), and the system handles the rest. When someone pays, you record it in one click — and they automatically get a "Asante kwa kupunguza TZS …" thank-you SMS. Reminders STOP for that person the moment they fulfill. Pakua ripoti ya PDF kwa kamati ya fedha siku ya kikao.
Do scheduled reminders cost extra?
No — every auto-fired reminder, recurring SMS, auto-reply, and payment thank-you is billed at the same per-SMS rate as a manual send. There's no monthly fee, no "automation tier", no premium plan. You pay for what gets delivered, full stop. The Schedule page shows you exactly how many SMS each upcoming reminder round will burn so there are no surprises.
What is a "sender ID" and why does it matter?
The sender ID is the name your customer sees when the SMS arrives — e.g. "NMB" instead of "+255 7XX XXX XXX". A branded sender ID looks professional, doesn't get filed under spam, and confirms the message is legitimately from you. SanyaSMS registers your sender ID with TCRA (the Tanzanian regulator) for free — usually approved within 2–3 working days. While we're waiting, your SMS goes out under the fallback ID "INFO" so nothing blocks.
Which networks do you cover?
All Tanzanian mobile operators: Vodacom, Airtel, Tigo, Halotel, Smart, Zantel, and TTCL. Same price across all of them (TZS 22/SMS). We can also route international SMS — email us for rates by country.
How long does delivery take?
Typical end-to-end delivery is under 5 seconds. We give you real-time delivery receipts in the dashboard so you can see what was delivered, what failed, and why.
Is there an API for developers?
Yes — REST API with API-key auth, JSON payloads, idempotency keys, and webhook delivery receipts. Used in production by ~80 businesses for OTPs and transactional sends. Documentation at app.sanya.tz/docs.
Do SMS credits expire?
No. Once you top up, the credits sit on your account until you use them. Unlike most TZ SMS providers, we don't expire balances after 6 / 12 months.
How do I top up?
From the SanyaSMS dashboard, pick a package (e.g. 1,000 SMS for TZS 22,000), and pay via SanyaPay — which accepts M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa, Airtel Money, Halopesa, bank cards, and direct bank transfer. Credits land on your account instantly when payment confirms.
I already use Sanya (Business OS) — do I need a separate SanyaSMS account?
No. SanyaSMS is built into every Sanya OS workspace — same dashboard, same balance, same sender ID. The standalone app.sanya.tz exists for businesses that only want SMS without the rest of the business OS.
Is bulk SMS legal in Tanzania?
Yes, but with rules. TCRA requires sender ID registration, prohibits sending between 21:00–07:00 (we enforce this), and requires opt-out instructions on marketing SMS. We handle the compliance side so you don't have to think about it.
