Already sending SMS? Keep your software.

School management systems, accounting packages, shop tills and church software often send texts through one of Ghana's SMS gateways. You don't need a developer to move them to Hova. Change one address in the settings and they send through Hova.

  1. Create your Hova account and top upMobile Money or card. Your balance is in cedis.
  2. Open Connect software and pick your old providerHova shows the address and key to paste in.
  3. Paste them into your software's SMS settingsYour first messages appear in Hova as they go out, so you can see it working.
Your software sends to
https://api.mnotify.com/api/sms/quick
Change it to
https://api.hovagh.com/compat/mnotify/api/sms/quick

In your Hova dashboard, open Connect software and choose mNotify. Hova gives you this address and a key to paste where the mNotify ones went. Hova accepts the same requests and answers the way mNotify does, so nothing else in your software changes.

Everything you need to send, nothing you don't.

Hova does one thing at launch, and does it properly: business text messages.

Send to one person or thousands
Type numbers, paste a list, or upload an Excel or CSV file. Hova fixes number formats and drops duplicates before anything is charged.
Your business name as the sender
Apply for a sender name in a minute, with no documents up front. Send as HOVA-INFO while you wait.
Personal messages to a whole list
Add each person's name, amount or reference with {{first_name}}-style fields, so a list of 2,000 reads like 2,000 separate texts.
Schedule for later
Write tonight, send at 8am tomorrow. Cancel any time before it goes.
A delivery report for every number
See which phones got the message and which did not. Reports are kept for a year.
Opt-outs handled for you
Promotional texts carry a short opt-out link, and anyone who opts out is skipped on your next send.
Saved messages
Keep the texts you send often, like fee reminders or order updates, and reuse them in two taps.

Not sure what to write? Describe it.

Tell Hova what the message is for, in your own words. It writes a short, clear text in the tone you pick, ready to send.

Made to fit one SMS
Drafts aim for 160 characters. If one runs long, or you paste in a long message of your own, shorten it with one tap and pay for one SMS instead of two.
In the language your customers read
English, Twi, Ga, Ewe, Hausa or Pidgin. Read a translation before you send it.
You stay in charge
Nothing goes out until you press Send. Edit the draft, use it for one person or a whole list.
No extra charge
Writing help comes with every account. You only pay for the texts you send.

What businesses send with Hova

The texts that keep a business running: reminders, receipts, notices and offers.

Building it into your own app?

One request sends a text. Test keys let you build without sending or paying for anything.

  • REST API with an OpenAPI description
  • SMPP for systems that already speak it
  • Delivery reports sent to your server as they arrive
  • Your own reference on each message, so a retry never texts the customer twice
