What is

A certified SMS is not a regular SMS

A certified SMS adds a layer of documentation to the communication process. You don't just send a message: you retain organized evidence and a PDF certificate containing the message content, recipient, date, time, and status.

It's useful when a company needs proof of delivery for important communications, without turning every notification into a cumbersome manual process.
