Carrier Latency Test Results (2026)

Our regular benchmarks show optimal speeds thanks to direct Tier-1 carrier agreements: - Maroc Telecom (IAM): Average delivery in 2.8 seconds. - Orange Morocco: Average delivery in 2.5 seconds. - Inwi: Average delivery in 2.4 seconds.

Why Direct Tier-1 Connections Matter

Global providers route messages through multiple international hops, leading to latency over 20 seconds or spam filtering. EnvoiSMS connects directly to Moroccan carrier SMSCs.

The Value of Real-time Delivery Reports (DLR)

Getting instant DLRs via webhooks enables your platform to immediately track delivery success and trigger smart fallbacks if the user is offline.
