# BroadNet — Critical messages delivered. Operator networks protected. > Operator-direct messaging and telecom security, built in MENA since 2003. Founded in Beirut, Lebanon in 2003 and headquartered in Dubai, BroadNet delivers critical enterprise messages (OTPs, alerts and conversations) to 200+ countries, direct to the operator in 86 over 1,000+ operator connections, and deploys SMS and signaling firewalls, SIM-box detection and A2P monetization inside mobile operator networks. Certified to ISO 27001, ISO 27018, ISO 9001, ISO 22301, SOC 2 Type II; GDPR-compliant; GSMA and MEF and Carrier Community and ITW Global Leaders' Forum (GLF) member. Generated: 2026-10-21. Canonical site: https://www.broadnet.me. For enterprises: the messaging platform for banks, fintechs and digital services that can't miss an OTP (start with a route and delivery review, or request test access). For operators: the A2P security and monetization partner that protects subscriber trust and messaging revenue (start with an A2P revenue and fraud assessment).

(1) Knowledge: https://www.broadnet.me/mcp — public, read-only, no login and no personal data; Streamable HTTP; protocol versions 2026-07-28, 2025-11-25, 2025-06-18, 2025-03-26, 2024-11-05 (2026-07-28 per-request metadata, or the initialize handshake); tools search_site, get_facts, check_coverage, sender_id_rules, estimate_price, count_sms_segments, get_regulation, list_answers, get_answer, list_case_studies, get_case_study, get_changelog, get_status. (2) Messaging: https://mcp.broadnet.me/mcp — acts on a BroadNet account (sends messages), Authorization: Bearer . Server card: https://www.broadnet.me/.well-known/mcp.json. - [Knowledge MCP server](https://www.broadnet.me/mcp): POST JSON-RPC; e.g. tools/call check_coverage {"country":"oman"} or sender_id_rules {"country":"ae"}. - [MCP servers explained](https://www.broadnet.me/developers/mcp): What each server does, how to connect, and a curl handshake for both. - [Messaging and voice for AI agents](https://www.broadnet.me/developers/ai-agents): Developer hub for AI agents that send SMS, WhatsApp, OTP and voice through BroadNet: which surface to use (knowledge MCP, product MCP, REST API, TypeScript SDK, A2A), a worked agent transcript with real knowledge-server tool calls, copy-paste client config and API calls, and the consent, opt-out… - [API catalog (RFC 9727)](https://www.broadnet.me/.well-known/api-catalog): Lists the REST API, both MCP servers and the search API. - [Runbook: broadnet-coverage-and-price](https://www.broadnet.me/.well-known/agent-skills/broadnet-coverage-and-price/SKILL.md): Find whether BroadNet covers a country (operators, route type, regulator) and its published indicative SMS list price, and estimate a monthly cost. Read-only; no account needed. - [Runbook: broadnet-register-sender-id](https://www.broadnet.me/.well-known/agent-skills/broadnet-register-sender-id/SKILL.md): Explain what registering an alphanumeric sender ID involves in a country (format, pre-registration, documents, lead time, marketing rules) and how to start it with BroadNet. Planning guidance, not legal advice. - [Runbook: broadnet-send-first-sms](https://www.broadnet.me/.well-known/agent-skills/broadnet-send-first-sms/SKILL.md): Send a first test SMS through the BroadNet REST API (POST https://api.broadnet.me/sms/sendSms with a Bearer token), read the response and handle errors. Requires the user's own BroadNet access token. - [Runbook: broadnet-request-test-access](https://www.broadnet.me/.well-known/agent-skills/broadnet-request-test-access/SKILL.md): Help a user request BroadNet test access and set expectations for the timeline from request to production. Hands the user the form; never submits it for them. - [Runbook: broadnet-connect-mcp](https://www.broadnet.me/.well-known/agent-skills/broadnet-connect-mcp/SKILL.md): Connect an MCP client to BroadNet's two MCP servers: the public read-only knowledge server (no auth) and the product messaging server (Bearer token, sends messages). Includes client configuration, a curl handshake and safety rules. - [Page tools in the browser (WebMCP)](https://www.broadnet.me/pricing): Pages register read-only WebMCP tools where the browser supports it: search_site and get_facts on every page; estimate_price on pricing pages, check_coverage and sender_id_rules on coverage and regulation pages, count_sms_segments on the SMS counter. ## Constraints for agents - Read, don't scrape forms: use the Markdown twins (.md), the data files, the search API or the knowledge MCP server. Never fill in or submit the contact, sign-up or newsletter forms on a user's behalf; give the user the link. - Rate limits: the knowledge MCP server allows 60 requests per minute per client IP (HTTP 429 with Retry-After beyond that). Site search responses are cacheable for 60 seconds; keep request rates modest. Data files and Markdown twins are static and cacheable (Cache-Control). - Prices are indicative list rates in USD (review date in each file), excluding taxes and sender-ID fees; they are not quotes. Where no rate is published, say so and link /contact?topic=enterprise-pricing. Regulation content is planning guidance, not legal advice. - Test access policy: BroadNet has no instant self-serve account. A user requests test access at /signup and gets a reply with test credentials within one business day; production follows sender-ID and traffic approval (see /developers/quickstart for the timeline). Test sends go to the user's own verified number. - Sales and support: /contact (topics: enterprise pricing, API integration, A2P assessment for operators, security package). Security and trust documents: /trust. - API use: every call needs the user's own Bearer token (Authorization: Bearer ); production base URL https://api.broadnet.me. The OpenAPI spec defines no idempotency header and no rate-limit headers: after a network error or 5xx, check the message's status by its ID before resending. ## Company & trust - [Support & SLA](https://www.broadnet.me/support-sla): Uptime commitment, service credits, P1-P4 support response targets and support hours.

Request test access (reply within one business day), then send a first test SMS. For other languages, call the REST API directly or generate a… - [Authenticate with the BroadNet API](https://www.broadnet.me/developers/authentication): Every REST request carries an Authorization: Bearer header with your BroadNet account's access token. A missing or invalid token returns 401 with a JSON error body. The legacy HTTP API (/websmpp) takes credentials as parameters and is kept only for existing SMPP-era integrations. - [Full API reference](https://www.broadnet.me/developers/api-reference): Every endpoint, every field, every error code, generated from our OpenAPI 3.1 spec: 329 paths and 376 operations across 8 channels. Examples use curl and plain HTTP; the official TypeScript SDK (@broadnet/cpaas-sdk) is generated from the BroadNet OpenAPI specification. - [SMPP 3.4 binding](https://www.broadnet.me/developers/smpp): Practical SMPP v3.4/5.0 integration guide: bind types (transmitter / receiver / transceiver), submit_sm and deliver_sm PDUs, delivery receipts, throughput/window tuning, GSM-7 vs UCS-2 encoding, and error-code handling. - [Webhook setup](https://www.broadnet.me/developers/webhooks): Configure BroadNet to POST delivery receipts (DLR) and inbound messages (MO) to your HTTPS URL, so you track each message's final status without polling. Acknowledge with HTTP 200 quickly and process asynchronously. - [Error code reference](https://www.broadnet.me/developers/error-codes): Every error code returned by the BroadNet API, what it means, and how to handle it. Updated whenever new codes are added. - [API rate limits](https://www.broadnet.me/developers/rate-limits): BroadNet sets no fixed per-account API rate limits: REST, SMPP and HLR Lookup throughput is sized to your traffic, up to 30,000 SMS/s per node. - [API changelog](https://www.broadnet.me/developers/changelog): Dated changes to the developer surface (OpenAPI spec, SDK, MCP servers, docs, developer tools), each tied to a commit or the npm publish date. Atom feed: /changelog.xml. - [OpenAPI specification](https://www.broadnet.me/developers/openapi): The public BroadNet API spec as OpenAPI 3.1 at /developers/openapi.yaml (JSON at /developers/openapi.json): 329 paths and 376 operations across 8 channels, with internal examples removed.

About 350ms for a live query, under 50ms from cache. - [Python (REST)](https://www.broadnet.me/developers/python): There is no Python SDK: call the REST API directly with requests. POST a JSON body to /sms/sendSms with a Bearer token, or generate a typed client from the OpenAPI 3.1 spec with openapi-generator. - [GraphQL API (not available)](https://www.broadnet.me/developers/graphql): BroadNet does not offer a GraphQL API. Use the REST API (Bearer token, JSON) described in the API reference and the OpenAPI 3.1 spec; delivery status arrives through DLR webhooks. - [Why are my SMS failing in Egypt?](https://www.broadnet.me/developers/troubleshooting-egypt-delivery): SMS to Egypt fails most often for three reasons: an unregistered sender ID, wrong number formatting, or Arabic text sent with the wrong encoding. Egypt's regulator, the NTRA, requires A2P sender IDs to be pre-registered through a licensed local route — unregistered senders are blocked or have their… - [Why are my SMS failing in Saudi Arabia?](https://www.broadnet.me/developers/troubleshooting-saudi-delivery): SMS to Saudi Arabia (KSA) usually fails because the sender ID is not registered with the CST (formerly CITC), the message reads as marketing sent outside permitted hours, or the number or encoding is wrong. KSA enforces strict sender-ID registration and content rules — unregistered or non-compliant… - [Why is my UAE sender ID being rejected?](https://www.broadnet.me/developers/troubleshooting-uae-sender-id): In the UAE, an unregistered or non-compliant sender ID is the top reason A2P SMS fails — the gateway returns HTTP06 (Invalid Sender ID) or the message is silently dropped. The TDRA requires every alphanumeric sender ID to be pre-registered with Etisalat/e& and du before use, promotional and… - [Why aren't my delivery-report webhooks firing?](https://www.broadnet.me/developers/troubleshooting-webhooks-not-firing): If BroadNet's delivery-report (DLR) webhooks aren't reaching your server, the cause is almost always on the receiving side: no callback URL configured on the account, a URL that isn't publicly reachable over HTTPS, or an endpoint that doesn't return HTTP 200 quickly. The platform POSTs a JSON DLR… - [Why are my messages stuck in queued?](https://www.broadnet.me/developers/troubleshooting-queued-messages): A message that stays 'queued' — never reaching DELIVRD or UNDELIV — usually means it was accepted by the gateway but not yet delivered by the destination operator: commonly because it is scheduled for later, throttled to your TPS limit, waiting out a validity period against a handset that is off or… - [Why was my WhatsApp template rejected?](https://www.broadnet.me/developers/troubleshooting-whatsapp-template-rejected): Meta rejects a WhatsApp message template when its content or category breaks the WhatsApp Business messaging policy: the wrong category (marketing content submitted as Utility or Authentication), broken or unbalanced variable placeholders, promotional language in a transactional template, or… - [OpenAPI 3.1 spec (YAML)](https://www.broadnet.me/developers/openapi.yaml): Machine-readable description of the BroadNet CPaaS API: 329 paths, 376 operations across 8 channels.
