Bulk SMS service provider in Maharashtra - SmsHorizon

Bulk SMS service across Maharashtra

You can cover Mumbai, Pune, Thane, Nagpur, Nashik and the rest of the state from a single account. Full Marathi Unicode lets you message people in the language they read every day.

Cities we serve

Bulk SMS in Maharashtra cities

Dedicated coverage for the state's major business hubs, with the same panel, API and pricing everywhere.

We also serve businesses in Nagpur, Nashik, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad), Solapur and Kolhapur, and across Vidarbha, Marathwada, Western Maharashtra and the Konkan.

DLT registration and compliance, handled for you

Every commercial SMS in India must go through DLT, the TRAI-mandated registration on a blockchain platform. It covers your business entity, your sender IDs (headers) and the message templates you send.

For a business in Maharashtra getting started, this is usually the only real hurdle. Our team registers your entity, headers and templates for you, free of charge, and keeps you compliant as you add new message formats.

Once registration clears, most accounts are live within 3 to 5 days. From there you send from the web panel or the API, with a GST invoice on every payment.
