About TelQ

TelQ provides an SMS testing solution with the largest network of real numbers. Information that businesses get with every test at the platform allows teams to detect fake delivery reports from the supplier and to choose the most reliable route for bulk SMS campaigns.

Teams can:

  • Get the real SMS delivery status from the test number and compare it with information from suppliers.
  • Compare the text that was sent with the delivered text. This allows teams to choose the most reliable route to ensure that the message arrives in full.
  • Check that the sender ID is looking as intended. This would help to make sure that messages don't look spammy.
  • Get raw PDU data full of technical details for advanced analysis.
  • Retrieve SMSC information that will help to determine the route type and potentially the original provider of the route.
  • Managers can check the latency between the message being sent and the message being delivered to the testing device and compare it to the DLR delay provided by the supplier.
  • Operators can also send a test SMS to the ported numbers via the platform to check if a supplier supports MNP.
  • Schedule predefined tests at regular intervals. Get alerts if te...
sts do not deliver or some other criteria are not met. - SMPP API allows supervisors to connect directly to the SMPP server to send and schedule test messages from the user interface.

    Superb Platform for Testing SMS

    5

    We have been using TelQ for as long as I have been at the company (5+ years) and have never had any issues. Their customer service is fantastic (especially [sensitive content hidden] ) and I would recommend TelQ to any SMS provider/Aggregator/MVNO looking to test and measure the quality of their SMS.

    Pros:
    TelQ provides a super easy-to-use and feature-rich web platform for testing SMS to countries around the globe. There are test numbers for pretty much every country and network which has enabled us to significantly improve our routing operations, and offer our clients the best quality SMS routes. The TelQ platform allows us to easily identify which SMS have been successfully delivered, whether we have received a false DLR, and if there are any changes to the sender id or content of the SMS.There are regular updates to the platform and the TelQ team are always keen to demonstrate new feature/receive feedback about what they can improve.
    Cons:
    We have not encountered any problems with TelQ.

    Pros:
    We primarily use the API but log into the portal from time to time. API :- The API is fantastic as it allows you to obtain the test results in real time. This has made a tremendous impact in the way we test in bulk, and saves us plenty and plenty of hours when doing a test case.- We have been using the API for the last 3 years and are truly happy with the service,.- The nodes are very reliable and the platform has a wide, global coverage range, it covers all primary mobile operators and many of the smaller ones too.- The customer service is great from the support team, they are always willing to go the extra mile to resolve a query.Their Online Web Portal Test Tool:- This is very user friendly web application which has a vast number of features to test sms delivery in bulk and to view the results.- There is a online scheduler which allows scheduled testing should you want to monitor a specific customer's delivery or just delivery in general. - Test results are reliable.I've been in the SMS aggregation industry for the last 15 years, Telq is by far the leading app.
    Cons:
    Having to keep up to date with all the new features that gets released frequently to enhance the product, this is great!

    Reasons for choosing TelQ

    Telq has the best portal and API functionality and broadest coverage range.

    Cons:
    - Lack of some small operators. I´v always requested new networks but I´ve never gotten. - Test in batches should be easier, the excel file sometimes complicates everything.- We are not able to know if the DLR arrives than the SMS arrives to the handset. This is essential to detect SMSC DLR suppliers and FAKE DLRs.- No SMS MO capability..

    Vendor Response

    Dear Jose, your sincerity and detailed feedback are much appreciated! The points mentioned in your review are well-taken and noted, we ensure consistent quality and customer satisfaction, and shall not cease to do so. Regarding the coverage requests - depending on the subscriber count, SIMs commercial availability, network density, and other relevant factors - the acquisition of certain destinations (especially smaller operators) proves more difficult, thus the delay for which we sincerely apologise. Addressing the technical concerns, MO feature, and additional expectations would be best via our support and your account manager - we'd be happy to discuss further and expand on the use cases, knowledge base, requirements, and any other needs you may have - kindly feel free to reach out to us anytime!
