Could you build this?
No Running a telecommunications SMS API requires direct telco aggregator agreements, SS7/SMPP network interconnects, compliance with Kenyan regulatory bodies (CAK), and telecom infrastructure.
What it would actually take: A real version requires negotiating direct SMPP interconnects with mobile network operators (Safaricom, Airtel, Telkom) and aggregators, registering shortcodes and sender IDs with the regulator, and running a high-throughput, low-latency queuing system (e.g., Go/Erlang with RabbitMQ/Kafka). It demands deep telecom protocol expertise and carrier licensing relationships.
