Use Case - Effective Call/SMS Routing:

If you are an organisation who generates high volumes of calls and messages and has interconnects to multiple carriers who deliver them on your behalf, then knowing precisely which carrier a number belongs to can save time and money as well as prevent dropped calls and improving your successful SMS delivery rates. In a World where many organisations use SMS messages for real-time applications (such as one-time passwords, status updates, appointment reminders etc.) then the time penalty involved in selecting the wrong network and having the message ‘bounce’ from network to network can be a significant drag on your user experience and additional costs. Velocity is used by many of the World’s largest messaging providers for exactly this purpose, and helps them improve their delivery performance and manage their costs.

Anywhere In The World

For every country, our expert support team have already integrated a full number range plan, mapping all allocated and available number ranges to operators.

Therefore, even if a number is not in our portability database (because it has not been ported), we can return the correct routing information from our TeleShield Global Number Range.

We work very hard every day analysing updated regulator information and other sources such as IR-21 documents to keep our number plan information up-to-date. This makes routing of numbers simple and efficient, allowing our clients to use the best routes for any country in the world.

Velocity Frequently Asked Questions

What does A2P stand for?

A2P stands for “Application-to-Person” messaging. It is a type of SMS messaging where an application sends text messages to a person rather than a person sending a text message to another person.

What is the difference between A2P and P2P messaging?

A2P messaging is typically used for sending automated messages such as notifications, alerts, and marketing messages. P2P messaging, on the other hand, is used for person-to-person communication, such as sending text messages to friends and family.

What is number portability routing?

Number portability is a process that allows users to keep their phone number when they switch from one network operator to another. Depending on the country regulations, portability may be supported for mobile or both mobile and fixed networks.

What is a number portability database?

A number portability database is a central database that contains information about which network operator a phone number is associated with. When a call or message is made to a phone number, the number portability database is queried to determine which operator the number is currently serviced by. This allows calls and messages to be correctly routed to the correct network, even if the user has switched to a different operator.

Can A2P message routing improve SMS delivery rates for marketing messages?

Yes, A2P message routing can improve SMS delivery rates for marketing messages. A2P messaging is designed for sending automated messages at scale, and A2P message routing ensures that messages are delivered reliably and quickly. By using A2P message routing, businesses can ensure that their marketing messages are delivered to their intended recipients, leading to higher engagement rates and a better return on investment.
