SMS Gateway
SMS Gateway in Sri Lanka
VeloBotix is one of the best SMS gateway providers in Sri Lanka for businesses and developers. It sends transactional, OTP, bulk and application-generated SMS over local operator routes, starting from LKR 0.50 per SMS with no monthly subscription or contract.
What is an SMS gateway?
An SMS gateway connects your software or campaign tools to mobile networks so you can send and track text messages. Your app cannot talk to Dialog or Mobitel directly — the gateway accepts messages (portal or API), routes them, and returns delivery status.
VeloBotix is not a grey-route aggregator. Traffic is sent on local operator routes used for OTP, alerts and campaigns in Sri Lanka.
How does the VeloBotix SMS gateway work?
Create an account, top up LKR credits, register a Sender ID, then send from the web portal or the REST API at portal.velobotix.app.
The same account supports OTP, transactional alerts, bulk campaigns and application-generated SMS.
SMS pricing and credits
Pricing is pay-as-you-send in LKR. Credits never expire. See the SMS pricing Sri Lanka page for current packs. A free LKR 50 trial is available without a card.
Sinhala, Tamil and English support
Send GSM-7 English or Unicode Sinhala/Tamil (and mixed scripts) from the portal or REST API. Unicode may use more credits per segment — plan with the GSM-7 vs Unicode guide.
Gateway vs bulk SMS vs SMS API
The gateway is the infrastructure. Bulk SMS Sri Lanka is campaigns on that pipe. The SMS API is how apps attach OTP and order alerts to the same gateway.
Choose the portal for marketing teams. Choose the API when software must fire messages in real time.
Which Sri Lankan networks are supported?
Dialog, Mobitel (Sri Lanka Telecom), Hutch, Airtel and Lanka Bell via local routes. Custom Sender ID registration is typically completed in 1–2 business days.
