I've only used one other company, Syniverse, as an SMS Aggregator. That was when I worked for a different company more than 10 years ago, so I don't really have much to compare to Sinch.

We considered LANCK telecom but we didn't see guaranteed results in certain regions as well as price wise some of the carriers were getting too expensive. Procurement and certification were of some other concerns and mBlox has a very friendly UI and helpful stuff to navigate …

mBlox compares in SLA and QoS to other top tier aggregators. We interconnect with several vendors who provide wholesale enterprise level SMS and MMS services like mBlox, and they all compare around the same. Quality of service is key, and we've found them to be no greater, and …

I used WhatsApp Business but it's limited. I can add only 250+/- members to the WhatsApp group. But in Telegram, it's 200000. So this is a big opportunity to promote my event. Telegram has much more user data privacy and company transparency than Signal. I am using both but …

[Sinch is] a great SMS aggregator offering full performance with short code messaging. They are very helpful with the certification process and their after launch production support is extremely good too, even going above and beyond after hours in the rare situations where it could be required. My only area of concern is pricing as I've seem some competitive pricing from other service providers that are quite popular too.

In addition to this, these features helps the business to reach their customers in terms of promotion of the company as well as product. Proper use of Telegram definitely helps in greater business turn over.

Cons
  • I feel that Sinch does not have very well customer support and documentation. Despite having a strong and durable platform, Sinch brings on a very huge learning curve as very limited knowledge articles are provided on their website. Since this is a new tool, there are very limited online communities/ forums supporting this tool and hence, a newbie will definitely struggle in deploying/ using Sinch in my opinion.

  • Verification through phone is not save better registered with Linkedin & E-mails
  • The ability to separate & categorize groups, channels, and users in different tabs should be added so they don't overlap
  • Security level helps scammers to engage with people.
  • The status will appear in the this application to everyone which i don't like
