About LANA SMS

LANA SMS is a Ugandan-built, developer-friendly bulk SMS gateway. We exist to give every business — from a solo entrepreneur in Gulu to an enterprise in Kampala — the power to communicate at scale, affordably and reliably.

Our Mission

To make reliable, affordable SMS communication accessible to every business in Uganda.

We saw a gap — too many SMS platforms were expensive, unreliable, or designed for markets outside Africa. LANA was built from the ground up with the Ugandan network landscape in mind. MTN. Airtel. Real delivery rates. Real support.

Whether you are sending a single transaction alert or a 200,000-contact health campaign, LANA treats every message with the same care. That is the promise we make to every user on the platform.

Our Values
Reliability First

We obsess over uptime. Every route, every carrier, every message — we monitor it all.

Radical Transparency

No hidden fees. No surprise charges. Your credits are yours and your reports are real.

Built for Uganda

Designed for local networks, local payments (MoMo & Airtel), and local use cases.

Speed & Scale

Sub-second API responses. Millions of messages per day. We scale when you scale.

Why LANA

Not just another SMS gateway

There are dozens of SMS platforms. Most are built abroad, priced in USD, and have never touched a Ugandan SIM card. LANA is different.

Local payments — MTN MoMo & Airtel Money

No Visa card required. Top up directly from your mobile wallet in seconds. Funds reflect instantly.

Pricing in Ugandan Shillings

No USD surprises. What you see is what you pay. Credits are priced transparently in UGX.

Support that actually answers

Real humans in Kampala, available on WhatsApp. No ticket queue. No overseas support centre.

Network-optimised routing

MTN and Airtel routes are tested and monitored daily. Automatic failover keeps delivery high even during network issues.
