Connect Infobip to send your SMS
Infobip needs three things: your account’s base URL, an API key and your sender name.
Before you start
- An email address and a phone number that can receive SMS.
- A bank card or a PayPal account (payment in euros or US dollars, €5 minimum).
- Time: in Algeria, the sender name takes 20 days or more to be approved.
