Before you start

You need three things:
  1. An account — register at sms.huduma.cloud.
  2. Credits — the platform is prepaid; buy credits from the Orders page.
  3. An approved sender ID — the name recipients see. See Sender IDs.
Messages cannot be sent under an unapproved sender ID. Registering one is the step most new integrations forget, so do it before writing any code.
