Find providers for this Browse all 54

In larger organisations, IT, security and procurement decide whether a provider can be trusted with customer data and critical traffic. They look at certifications, data location, subcontractors, contract terms, exit plans and total cost. A good evaluation tests real traffic, reads the service-level agreement closely and plans how to leave before signing.

What matters when choosing

  • Independent security certifications and recent audit reports.
  • Data residency options and a clear list of subprocessors, the third parties that handle your data.
  • Contracts with service levels, credits, liability and data-protection terms that fit your laws, such as GDPR.
  • Single sign-on, role-based access, audit logs and admin controls.
  • Exit terms covering data export, number portability and transition support.

Questions to ask providers

  1. Can you share your latest security audit reports and your list of subprocessors?
  2. Where is our data stored and processed, including backups and AI features?
  3. What happens to our numbers, sender names and data if we end the contract?

Common mistakes

  • Comparing per-message prices without the total cost: channel fees, support and minimum commitments.
  • Signing long volume commitments before a pilot with real traffic.
  • Overlooking that sender registrations and phone numbers may be held in the provider's accounts, not yours.
