If you already talk to businesses — schools, SACCOs, churches, shops — you're sitting on an income stream you might not have considered: reselling bulk SMS.

Every one of those businesses eventually needs to send messages to their customers, members, or students. Fee reminders. Order confirmations. Sunday service alerts. Someone has to sell them that service. It might as well be you.

What being an SMS reseller actually means

You buy SMS credit from YoolaSMS at your own rate. You create accounts for your own customers and set whatever rate you want to charge them — as long as it's at or above what you pay. The difference between the two rates is yours, on every single message they send, automatically tracked.

You're not managing servers, negotiating with telecoms, or building a billing system. That infrastructure already exists. You're just adding your own customers on top of it.

How to apply

Reach out to our team via the contact page or WhatsApp us directly at +256 704 487 563. Tell us a bit about your business — what kind of customers you plan to bring on, and roughly how many messages you expect them to send. We review every application personally, usually within a day or two.

What happens after approval

Once approved, your existing YoolaSMS login — the same email and password you already use — unlocks the Reseller Portal. From there you can:

No separate signup. No new password to remember. Your reseller access is just an upgrade to the account you already have.

Is this actually worth doing?

Here's a simple example: if your own rate is UGX 20/SMS and you charge a client UGX 35/SMS, you earn UGX 15 on every message. A single SACCO sending 10,000 fee reminders a month puts UGX 150,000 straight in your pocket — for work you've already effectively done by finding them the customer relationship.
