Frequently asked questions

What is OTP SMS?
OTP SMS (One-Time Password) is a secure mobile user authentication method as part of two-factor authentication (2FA) that sends unique, temporary codes via text message to verify user identity. These codes are valid for single use only and expire quickly, making them significantly more secure than traditional passwords for protecting accounts and transactions.
How long does OTP SMS code delivery take?
Our SMS gateway delivers verification codes worldwide in under 3 seconds on average, with 98% of messages delivered within 5 seconds. OTP codes receive priority routing in our system to ensure minimal delay.
Is OTP SMS secure enough for protecting sensitive operations?
Yes. One-time SMS verification codes are recognized by regulators worldwide as a valid authentication method that meets Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) requirements under PSD2 and similar regulations.
What's the difference between your dedicated OTP SMS solution and sending codes through a standard SMS API?
Our dedicated OTP SMS solution offers several advantages: codes get priority routing for maximum speed, you can set expiration and length directly via API, and you can leverage advanced abuse prevention like rate limiting. Learn more about the standard SMS API.

Financial services, e-commerce, healthcare, government agencies, and any business handling sensitive data or transactions benefit significantly from OTP SMS verification. The combination of universal availability and security makes it the ideal verification solution for most businesses.
What if a user doesn't receive their OTP SMS code?
Our system is designed for maximum reliability. In case of failure, you have several options:

1. Automatic Fallback Routes: If the primary carrier route has an issue, our system automatically reroutes the message instantly through a backup route to ensure the highest chance of delivery.
2. Resend Option: You can configure how and when to offer users a "Resend Code" option so they can complete the process.
3. Alternative Channels: As a final safety net, you can set doručení kódu přes jiný kanál like WhatsApp or RCS.
