Echovox: Powering Mobile Payments & Secure Messaging Across Europe

For over 20 years, Echovox has been at the forefront of mobile payment and messaging, enabling businesses to monetize audiences, facilitate transactions, and provide secure SMS authentication. The company’s platform processes millions of SMS messages daily, supporting banks, e-commerce sites, media companies, and mobile virtual operators.

The Challenge: Rebuilding a High-Performance SMS Gateway from Scratch

Following the acquisition of its former SMS platform provider Zong by PayPal, Echovox needed an entirely new, high-load SMS Gateway MVP—one that could:

✔ Process high-volume SMS traffic efficiently (500 SMS/sec, 50M SMS/day).
✔ Support SMS-based 2-factor authentication for banks and e-commerce businesses.
✔ Enable large-scale SMS campaigns for major media companies (e.g., during live TV shows).
✔ Be scalable to support future features and geographic expansion.
