Robase supports sending to:
CountryISODial codeCurrency
NigeriaNG+234NGN
GhanaGH+233GHS
KenyaKE+254KES
Côte d’IvoireCI+225XOF
You send to all four through the same POST /v1/sms endpoint. There’s no country routing step — we derive it.

​
Country auto-detection

We parse the E.164 dial code on to and tag the message with the detected country: 
await pm.sms.send({
  to:   '+233201234567',        // Ghana
  from: 'SHUTTLERS',
  body: 'Your ride arrives in 3 minutes.',
});
// → Response: country: "GH", cost: { amount_kobo: 15, currency: "GHS" }
Override when needed (rarely): 
await pm.sms.send({
  to: '+2348012345678',
  from: 'SHUTTLERS',
  body: '...',
  country: 'NG',   // force country even if dial code is ambiguous
});

​
Pricing per country

Your plan has a per-country rate map. When a country isn’t in the map, we fall back to the plan’s default NGN rate.
PlanNG (NGN)GH (GHS)KE (KES)CI (XOF)
Free5.00 / seg(fallback)(fallback)(fallback)
Starter4.50 / seg0.17 / seg1.40 / seg28 / seg
Pro4.00 / seg0.15 / seg1.20 / seg25 / seg
Scale3.50 / seg0.12 / seg1.00 / seg22 / seg
The cost field on the response reflects the destination country’s currency: 
{
  "to": "+2335201234567",
  "country": "GH",
  "segments": 1,
  "cost": { "amount_kobo": 15, "currency": "GHS" }
}
Wallet debits always happen in NGN (we convert 1:1 at your plan rate). We’re working on native multi-currency wallets — in the meantime, the cost_currency on the row tells you honestly what the per-segment rate would be in the local market.

​
Sender IDs are per-country

A sender ID approved for NG isn’t automatically approved for GH. Register once per country you target: 
await pm.senderIds.create({
  sender_id: 'SHUTTLERS',
  countries: ['NG', 'GH'],       // submit to both regulators in parallel
  registered_entity: '…',
  use_case: '…',
});
See Sender IDs for the full registration flow.

​
Provider routing by country

Different countries have different best-of-breed upstream providers. We maintain a provider_routes table that determines the failover chain per country: 
country='*'     beem     priority=100  (global default)
country='NG'    beem     priority=100
country='NG'    termii   priority=200  (NG-specific fallback)
For a Nigerian send, we try Beem first, then Termii if Beem fails. For Ghana, we use the global default (Beem only). Contact support if you want a specific provider preference — we can add rows for your account. Every attempt is recorded on the message; see provider_attempts on GET /v1/sms/:id: 
{
  "provider_attempts": [
    { "provider": "beem",   "ok": false, "attempted_at": "...", "error_message": "upstream 502" },
    { "provider": "termii", "ok": true,  "attempted_at": "...", "provider_message_id": "tm-123" }
  ]
}

​
Planning capacity across markets

Analytics is per-project but aggregated across countries. Use GET /v1/sms/analytics/carriers?days=30 for a breakdown — each row is one carrier (e.g. mtn_ng, safaricom_ke), so you can see where your volume goes. For finer-grained slicing (cost by country over time, delivery rates by country), export from the dashboard — CSV downloads include the country column.

​
Opening a new market

We’re adding countries as Beem + Termii coverage grows. If you need a country not listed here:
  1. Email sales@robase.dev with your volume estimate + use case.
  2. We’ll add a provider route + seeded plan rate within 3 business days.
  3. For some countries the regulator requires a local entity — we’ll let you know if so.
