A Look at Telkom Kenya’s Bulk SMS Product

Kenyans love to chat. Every time you see a Kenyan with a phone, he or she is either making a call or texting. There are two ways that Kenyans use to text each other; the use of SMS or WhatsApp with WhatsApp gaining prominence with each passing day.

In the wake of satisfying my curiosity of what makes Kenyans tick in texting, I wanted to find out on the SMS offers on the market. One product from Telkom Kenya caught my attention; the Bulk SMS product.

Telkom Bulk SMS is a platform that has been designed for sending multiple SMS to multiple phones faster and easier with support alphanumeric, usage alerts, instant delivery, and self-operation. Flexible SMS bundle and no access fees or hidden setup costs as the main advantages.

The Bulk SMS product is a prepaid payment plan at any nearest Telkom shop with SMS Reseller, Institutions such as government, churches, educational and financial and businesses being eligible to subscribe.
