What Drives Us Every Day

Our Mission

To make professional bulk SMS affordable and accessible to every African business — from a rural school in Uganda to a fintech startup in Lagos.

Our Vision

To be Africa's most trusted bulk SMS platform — the first name a business thinks of when they need to reach customers, anywhere on the continent.

Our Values

Honest pricing. Reliable delivery. Simple design. Responsive support. Four rules that guide every product decision we make at Yoola SMS.

Built For How Africa Actually Works

Global SMS giants have huge budgets, but they're built for Silicon Valley, not Kampala or Nairobi. Here's what Yoola SMS does differently for businesses across Africa.

📱
Mobile Money first-class

Top up via MTN MoMo, Airtel Money — and soon M-Pesa, Orange Money, MoMo Côte d'Ivoire. The way Africa actually pays. No Visa card. No bank account. 60 seconds.

💰
Local currency pricing

Pay in UGX, KES, TZS, RWF or USD — whichever works for you. No surprise FX losses when the dollar moves. Transparent rates per country, published openly.

🌍
One account, all of Africa

Send to Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, DR Congo, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa + 30 more — all from the same dashboard. No separate accounts. No extra setup.

💬
African support team

Real humans who understand your market, not a chatbot in California. WhatsApp, phone, email — answered in your time zone, in your language style.

We ship in days, not quarters

No 6-week ticket queues. When customers ask for a feature — new network, new currency, new payment method — we usually ship within the week.

🏦
Africa-first infrastructure

Servers and routing optimised for African networks. We understand Safaricom routing, MTN Uganda quirks, and Airtel Africa's regional setup — better than any foreign provider.

Where We Operate

From Kampala to Cape Town. From Dakar to Dubai. One account, one dashboard, one team — 40+ countries.
