Questions we hear most.
All Saudi mobile numbers should ideally be formatted in the international E.164 standard (e.g., +9665xxxxxxxx). However, Qalaama's API automatically normalizes input strings by removing spaces, brackets, or leading local zeros (e.g., converting 05xxxxxxxx to +9665xxxxxxxx) before dispatches.
For critical transactional alerts and OTP verification dispatches, messages are routed over priority operator channels, achieving an average delivery latency under 1.8 seconds across STC, Mobily, and Zain networks in KSA.
Yes, Qalaama provides a free sandbox console where developers can register, test API endpoints, simulate various carrier responses, and check webhook listener payloads without consuming live SMS credits.
All API calls are authenticated using secure Bearer API tokens transmitted over HTTPS headers. You can generate, rotate, and revoke your developer keys instantly via the Qalaama console.
Qalaama implements automatic carrier failovers. If one operator faces network congestion, our gateway redirects the payload through alternative routes to prevent delays.
