Total SMS specializes in offering global phone payment solutions

At a time where most of the content globally is consumed on a mobile device it is more important than ever to provide quick, simple, secure and innovative payment methods.

Total SMS provides a range of phone payment solutions such as Pay per minute, Pay per call, Direct carrier billing, Premium SMS and P2A (click2SMS).

Reach every user. Enable every payment.

Our solutions enable our clients to reach 100% of their consumers and provide payment methods in previously untapped markets, especially in territories where credit and debit card penetration still remains low, and with that the need for an alternative payment method is high.

We offer solutions that are secure, reliable, and easy to use. No credit card details or personal information beyond the consumer’s phone number are needed. Consumers do not have to fill in any lengthy registration forms, they only need their mobile phone to pay.
