Why Textlocal (Sinch) Users Switch to SMSGatewayHub

Known limitations of Textlocal (Sinch)

  • Sinch acquisition has reduced India-specific focus
  • Higher pricing vs pure-play Indian providers
  • India support team is smaller post-acquisition
  • No SMPP connectivity
  • No Missed Call service
  • No dedicated India API documentation
  • Platform designed for UK/global market — DLT workarounds required
