About us

Clarity in a complex world.

We are engineers, innovators and problem-solvers, passionate about telecommunications. We build the tools we always wished we had.

Many messages. One clear signal.
01 / Origin

Testing SMS delivery shouldn’t be a black box.

Ankarex was founded on that principle. Between the send and the handset sit providers, routes and operators, and what happens in between is rarely visible. We build the tools we always wished we had, so that any business can send its messages with complete confidence.

02 / Journey

We open the black box.

Follow one message from your account to the handset.

  1. This is how SMS delivery usually looks: a message goes out and, at best, a status comes back. What happens inside stays hidden.

  2. Ankarex records the send with its sender, its text and its cost before handing it to the chosen route.

  3. The provider accepts the message, passes it to the operator and later returns a DLR: its report of what it believes happened.

  4. With Test Tool, a real handset receives the message and we compare sender and content with what you sent. That is the proof it arrived.

03 / Mission and vision

Making SMS communication understandable.

With powerful, intuitive technology, built for the people who send.

Mission

To give businesses visibility and control over their whole SMS delivery chain, turning complexity into an advantage and helping every message reach its destination efficiently and reliably.

Vision

To become the industry standard for SMS testing and intelligence. We envision a future where all A2P communication is transparent, measurable and optimised for quality.

04 / Principles

What we stand for is already in the product.

These are not promises about the future. They are rules the platform applies today.

  1. Test Tool

    A DLR is not a handset.

    The provider’s delivery report and reception on a real handset are shown separately. We never present one as proof of the other.

  2. GSM-7 160/153 · Unicode 70/67

    What we estimate is what we charge.

    The parts of every SMS are counted with the real rule and amounts are kept to four decimals, with no hidden rounding along the way.

  3. Activity log

    Every change leaves a trace.

    Every authenticated action that changes something is recorded: who, what and when. The record never copies your messages, numbers, passwords or codes.

  4. HLR · Test Tool

    Missing data is shown as missing.

    No evidence, no verdict: an unknown status is not a disconnected number, and a receipt that never arrived does not prove the message was identical.

05 / Who it is for
