Direct & Secure Transactional SMS in Saudi Arabia
Deliver real-time order receipts, payment alerts, and shipping updates to STC, Mobily, and Zain subscribers. Sub-1.5-second dispatches utilizing high-priority operator routes.
Why KSA Corporate Leads Choose Qalaama Transactional SMS
Power your customer communications with Qalaama's high-priority transactional SMS gateway. Engineered specifically for regulated Saudi enterprises, our API delivers critical business notifications without intermediary delays or grey routing. By connecting directly to major Saudi network operators (STC, Mobily, and Zain), we guarantee high-throughput delivery for e-commerce, banking, logistics, and healthcare systems. All operations, transmission logs, and data records are processed locally in Riyadh in strict alignment with Saudi PDPL data residency requirements.
High-Priority Carrier Pipelines
Unlike marketing campaigns, transactional SMS messages utilize dedicated, unthrottled communication queues. Your messages bypass standard network congestion to arrive on customer handsets in seconds.
Automated Failover Routing
To guarantee maximum uptime, our platform monitors network latency across all Saudi carriers in real time. If a carrier endpoint experiences congestion, traffic is dynamically shifted to secondary direct routes.
Bilingual UCS-2 Unicode Support
Send clear, error-free Arabic and English notifications. Our smart encoding engine translates text dynamically, preventing broken letters and ensuring seamless concatenation of multi-segment messages.
Secure API Token Management
Protect transactional endpoints with rotating Bearer tokens and IP whitelisting. Establish secure connections over HTTPS/TLS 1.3 or dedicated IPsec VPN tunnels for enterprise banking environments.
ZATCA-Compliant Billing in SAR
Simplify corporate tax accounting with automated ZATCA-ready invoicing. All usage fees are billed in Saudi Riyals (SAR) and include the standard 15% VAT breakdown required for audit compliance.
Real-Time Webhook DLR Stream
Sync transaction delivery logs (DLRs) directly to your application backend. Monitor message status, carrier delivery timestamps, and network response latency via structured JSON webhooks.

Questions we hear most.
Transactional SMS includes critical non-marketing alerts initiated by user actions. Examples include order confirmations, payment receipts, delivery notifications, appointment reminders, and account security notices. Under CST guidelines, these are separate from promotional broadcasts and can be sent 24/7.
Because transactional messages use dedicated high-priority carrier lines, they achieve average delivery times under 1.5 seconds on STC, Mobily, and Zain networks.
No. The CITC (CST) sending window restrictions (which block marketing SMS during night hours) apply only to promotional messages. Transactional alerts can be sent 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, as they contain critical account information.
We recommend submitting numbers in E.164 international format (e.g., +9665xxxxxxxx). However, our API automatically detects and normalizes local prefixes (like 05xxxxxxxx) before sending.
Yes, developers can register custom HTTPS endpoints to receive real-time JSON webhooks detailing delivery receipts (DLRs) with precise carrier timestamps and error codes.
