SMS Messaging
The Pareteum Experience Cloud unifies Pareteum’s messaging technologies on a single platform for customizable user experiences. Organizations can pick and choose which features they want to deploy, and how they want to deploy them, based on their internal processes and requirements.
For instance, many businesses leverage Pareteum’s SMS Messaging services in conjunction with our Voice Messaging services and Virtual Numbers.
These solutions help fortify international alert systems, domestic food delivery services, international OTTs, financial institutions, and businesses operating across every vertical.
Pareteum’s Messaging solutions are perfect for any business that relies on time-critical customer engagement. They were designed to be implemented in parallel and our interdisciplinary support staff will help you set them up according to your particular requirements.
Direct SMS
Pareteum’s Direct SMS product delivers the best quality A2P messaging experiences on the market via a mixture of direct operator connections, operator hub connections, and strategic partner direct connections. It’s an excellent solution for businesses that rely on high quality messaging and fast delivery times.

High Quality / HQ SMS
Pareteum’s HQ SMS product offers high quality messaging at a lower price than Direct SMS. While Direct SMS tends to offer better quality messaging than HQ SMS, the difference is often negligible and, in many countries, practically non-existent. In countries where there is a difference in messaging quality, Pareteum ensures lower prices via the intelligent, carrier-grade messaging platform. HQ SMS is an excellent option for businesses that require high quality, but cost-efficient, messaging capabilities.

Wholesale SMS
Pareteum’s Wholesale SMS product, which offers multiple types of SMS routes and SS7 connections, leverages the Pareteum Messaging platform for automated least-cost routing. As such, it provides the best price for single operator destinations. Wholesale SMS is most popular among partner aggregators and other businesses looking to save on messaging costs via single destination routes.
