In the face of uncertain budgets and growing global challenges, humanitarian organizations are being forced to do more with less.

Transactional SMS might not be the flashiest part of your product - but it could be one of the most important. It’s the kind of tool that quietly powers key interactions: the login code that gets you back into your account, the reminder that saves you from missing an appointment, the message that reaches your customer at exactly the right time.
In this Telerivet article, we’ll look at what transactional SMS really is, how it works, and why it’s such a valuable channel for modern businesses. Whether you're sending alerts, building engagement flows, or just trying to communicate more reliably, transactional SMS is one of the simplest ways to connect with users - directly, immediately, and effectively.

We’re living in a golden age of conversational AI platforms. From customer support automation to enterprise-wide AI-driven workflows, businesses have more choices than ever. But with so many options, choosing the right solution can feel overwhelming.
Some platforms promise human-like conversations, while others focus on structured, reliable task execution. Some are built for scalability, others for regulatory compliance, and a few are simply hype-driven ventures still stuck behind waitlists.
So how do you separate practical solutions from empty promises?

AI is more popular now than ever before. Each tech superpower is betting on it and every company seems to be trying to find a way to squeeze it into its products - whether it fits or not.
But AI is not one thing. In fact, it’s hard to say what it is at all.

In the current challenging funding environment, NGOs need creative solutions to maintain and expand their impact while optimizing costs.
Mobile rewards - including airtime transfers and data bundles - have emerged as a powerful and cost-effective tool for humanitarian organizations. When implemented thoughtfully, these digital incentives can drive program participation, enable data collection, and support field operations, all while providing tangible value to beneficiaries.
With Telerivet, organizations can implement mobile rewards programs at any scale, from small pilot projects to nationwide initiatives. The platform connects with over 550 mobile networks in 150+ countries, enabling automated airtime transfers, data bundles, and eGift vouchers that can be triggered by survey responses, program milestones, or staff activities. This infrastructure makes it possible to seamlessly integrate mobile rewards into existing programs while maintaining detailed tracking and reporting.
It's not just NGOs that are discovering the utility of mobile rewards. Telerivet enables its business users to wield micro-incentives to improve field-force effectiveness and encourage market-share increasing consumer behavior. In this post, however, we will focus on how to build effective mobile incentive campaigns for NGOs and humanitarian efforts.
Mobile surveys are transforming how organizations understand and respond to community needs. By leveraging mobile messaging through channels like SMS, WhatsApp, and Viber, as well as voice calls, NGOs can now collect vital data from even the most remote locations, enabling faster response times and more effective program delivery.
