How does SMSRoute deliver to Indonesian networks?
SMSRoute uses adaptive multi-route delivery with automatic failover across multiple Indonesian aggregators. If one route degrades, traffic shifts to another in real time. This ensures delivery rates above 99% for most Indonesian numbers, including Telkomsel, Indosat, XL Axiata, and Tri.
Delivery reports (DLR) are available in real time via webhook or dashboard. Failed or undelivered messages are auto-credited back to your balance. There is no need to register with Indonesian carriers or DLT authorities, SMSRoute handles routing compliance.
Sender IDs default to a smart shared pool. Custom alphanumeric sender IDs are available on request where routes support them.
