Significantly improves operational and financial efficiency by eliminating complex bilateral interworking agreements

Key benefits to interconnecting with our hub:

  • Quality – A reliable delivery or a notification that a message cannot be delivered, and firewalls to reduce spam, thereby improving the customer experience and protecting the service provider brand.
  • Customer experience – Enhanced customer services support, providing the same quality of care we use to support our own global customers.
  • Competitive and transparent pricing – The team behind VMH are responsible for all Bulk SMS pricing in Vodafone, ensuring that VMH offers the best option from both a technical and a commercial perspective.
  • Convenience – One commercial agreement to deliver to 500+ million Vodafone devices and beyond.
  • Security – Industry-leading advanced spamming and content filtering with fraud detection to eliminate grey route traffic.  Grey routes undermine the quality and reliability of the A2P experience for enterprise customers which impacts the customer experience.
  • Efficiency – With a single connection to VMH, a service provider can reach Vodafone’s 26 Local Markets (countries), improving the reliability and cost efficiencies to terminate messages. VMH offers one resilient technical connection for both GSM and CDMA and supports all messaging protocols – SS7, Sigtran and SMPP.
  • Reach – Wide and deep reach to Vodafone’s footprint and beyond.
