Leonas IT Solutions Pvt Ltd

For organisations that need to reach many phones at once, the firm sends bulk text messages from an online control panel and through an API. Its catalogue is split into kinds of message, and each one has its own rules, so the choice of service matters.

Transactional messages that reach every number

Transactional messages cover alerts, reminders, notifications and updates sent to existing customers. The site says they can be sent at any hour, around the clock, and that they reach numbers on do-not-disturb lists, which promotional messages cannot. Each transactional sender identity is six characters long. The site separates two types: service implicit messages, which are purely transactional, and service explicit messages, which go to customers who have given consent.

Promotional texts limited by hours and consent

Promotional messages promote products or services, and the firm describes them as the tool for business development and sales. They are restricted in time: the site says they may only be sent between 9 AM and 9 PM. They do not reach numbers on do-not-disturb lists, must use numeric sender headers rather than letters, and may only go to a database of customers who have consented.

One-time passwords with a short delivery window

One-time password messages carry codes for registrations, logins and payments. The website says the service runs around the clock with high bandwidth, and that it is built to plug into management systems, e-commerce sites and banking portals. Because a code has to arrive quickly, the site warns that the delivery window is short, roughly 5 to 30 seconds, and that a message not delivered in that window expires.

API links, short URLs and voice services

The API lets developers connect SMS sending to any software or website, through HTTP and XML interfaces. A URL shortener turns long web links into short ones. Outbound dialling delivers a predefined voice message to many numbers at once. Interactive voice response uses speech recognition so that callers can respond to prompts over an ordinary phone call, and voice conferencing is offered alongside.

Coverage across India and abroad

The firm is based in Hyderabad and also refers to Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai. It says it provides international SMS services as well as domestic ones, and describes a reseller platform for partners who want to offer messaging under their own name. The company says its international messages are delivered in seconds, and it says it has given clients support around the clock.

Leonas IT Solutions Pvt Ltd sells bulk SMS and voice call services, and describes itself as a bulk SMS provider in Hyderabad and Bangalore. It sends messages for organisations and companies from an online control panel or through its API.
