Niger’s Zamani Telecom has signed a partnership agreement with Hayo covering A2P monetisation and SMS firewall solutions.

Under the deal, Hayo will test, identify and prevent fraud across Zamani’s traffic to increase profitability, sustainability and trust within its A2P SMS business. Hayo’s SMS Firewall solution detects and blocks A2P SMS traffic that is being terminated into Zamani’s home network over grey routes, ensuring that all A2P SMS is terminated over official whitelisted routes and charged accordingly.

The solution includes daily penetration testing to detect bypass and fraudulent routes, rules optimisation, AIT detection to identify unsolicited traffic, and anti-fraud training, as well as consultancy with the Zamani team. Testing methodologies include OTT generated tests from the main OTT applications and services, as well as simulated 2FA messages sent via international hubs.

The result is reduced revenue losses from fraud and a continually evolving security posture. Hayo’s model is used by providers including Alibaba, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Temu and TikTok to deliver A2P SMS traffic in Niger.

“Our A2P monetisation strategies and SMS Firewall solutions ensure that operators are free from fraud and proactively blocking traffic from illegitimate sources,” said Feraz Ahmed, CEO at Hayo. “We’re providing on-the-ground innovation in Niger that will benefit the entire mobile ecosystem in the country.”

Zamani Telecom, formerly Orange Niger, serves more than 3 million customers in Niger.
