Sign up, claim starter credits, pick a Sender ID, and send a test to your own phone.

For Anyone starting SplitSMS

1. 1

   Create the account

   Open Sign up, enter your name, email, and password. Confirm the email if asked. New accounts include 5 free credits — enough to send a test without a card.

2. 2

   Verify your phone

   Open Dashboard → Settings and complete phone verification when prompted. A verified number is required before branded sends on most Ghana routes.

3. 3

   Request a Sender ID

   Open Dashboard → Sender ID and submit the name recipients should see (for example MYSHOP). Approval is typically 1–2 business days. Until then, use an approved ID if one is already on the account.

4. 4

   Send a test

   Open Dashboard → Send SMS. Enter your number in international format without a plus (Ghana: 233201234567). Write a short message, confirm segments and cost, then send. Check Message results for Queued → Sent → Delivered.
