As businesses increasingly rely on real-time communication with their customers, secure messaging has become more essential. To address this need, PLDT Inc.’s corporate arm PLDT Enterprise has onboarded Burst SMS, a global messaging technology company from Known Group, as its newest Application-to-Person (A2P) aggregator through the Smart Messaging Suite. The partnership paves the way for smarter and more secure enterprise communication, helping the company scale its local operations while supporting businesses across key industries.
Unlocking Growth Through Trusted Messaging
Through its recently established Manila office, Burst SMS aims to better serve customers in retail, government, healthcare, and e-commerce. With its ISO27001 certification, 99.99% uptime, and direct carrier connections, Burst SMS delivers mission-critical SMS services designed for enterprises that require high-volume, low-latency messaging.
Under the new arrangement, Burst SMS has subscribed to Smart Messaging Suite with an initial volume that is expected to ramp up to 12 million SMS monthly within the next 3–6 months, supporting customer promos, announcements, advisories, and similar communications. This growth trajectory positions Burst SMS as a trusted regional player and strengthens the A2P messaging ecosystem in the Philippines.
Building Local Presence, Backed by Global Expertise
A new entrant in the Philippine market, Burst SMS carries a strong global presence and experience in messaging technology. Through its managed messaging gateway, Burst SMS connects enterprises directly to local carriers, enabling reliable, large-scale communication that supports faster and more secure delivery of customer notifications, such as retail promotions, government advisories, banking alerts, and healthcare reminders, among others. With high-volume messaging, enterprises can improve operational efficiency and boost customer engagement.
