Manual tests

Your phone.The final say.

You pick the routes you want to test, send a real SMS to your own numbers and look at the phone: whether it arrives, with what sender and what text. Every message ends with the name of the route that brought it.

Up to 20 routes and 10 of your own numbers per test

Sample data

Sample data01Routes ticked

Pick the routes

Open the country you care about and tick the route options you want to compare, up to 20 per test. Every number receives one message per ticked option.

Sample data02Message and suffix

Write the message

Use your Sender ID (up to 11 characters) and your text. The service appends the name of the route in brackets and reserves that room: the final text allows 160 characters.

Sample data03Received on your phone

Watch it reach your phone

You send to your own numbers, up to 10, with the prefix of the route's country. These are real SMS: they are sent and charged as such.

Sample data04Your verdict

You decide which route works

You check with your own eyes whether it arrived, with what sender and what text. The history keeps every test with its DLR if you also want the provider's receipt.

01 / Before you send

The console shows how it will arrive.

Review the complete message before sending: your text and the route name in square brackets. Choose an example route to see how its suffix changes.
