afromessage_dart

Dart/Flutter client for AfroMessage - Ethiopia's SMS API.

Same capabilities as the Node.js afromessage package:

• Send single SMS
• Send bulk / personalized SMS
• Send OTP / security codes
• Verify security codes

Docs: AfroMessage developers

Install

dart pub add afromessage_dart
# or in Flutter:
flutter pub add afromessage_dart

Credentials

From your AfroMessage dashboard:

Value	Description
API token	Bearer token for requests
Sender name	Verified sender label
Identifier ID	Short-code / identifier (optional if you have one)

Security: Do not ship your API token inside a public Flutter app. Prefer calling AfroMessage from your backend (Dart, Node, etc.) and expose only your own authenticated endpoints to the mobile client.

Phone numbers

Numbers are normalized to E.164 (+251XXXXXXXXX) before each request. Ethio Telecom (09 / 9) and Safaricom Ethiopia (07 / 7) are both accepted:

0912345678, 912345678, 0712345678, [phone], 251712345678, etc.

Usage

import 'package:afromessage_dart/afromessage_dart.dart';

final sms = AfroMessage(
  AfroMessageConfig(
    apiKey: 'YOUR_TOKEN',
    senderName: 'YOUR_SENDER',
    identifierId: 'YOUR_IDENTIFIER', // optional
  ),
);

// Single SMS (09…, 07…, +251… all work)
final sent = await sms.sendSms(
  SendSmsRequest(
    to: '0912345678',
    message: 'Hello from Flutter/Dart',
  ),
);

// Bulk SMS
final bulk = await sms.sendBulkSms(
  BulkSmsRequest(
    to: ['0911111111', '0922222222'],
    message: 'Hello everyone',
  ),
);

// OTP
final otp = await sms.sendSecurityCode(
  SendSecurityCodeRequest(
    to: '0912345678',
    length: 6,
    postfix: 'is your verification code',
  ),
);

// Verify OTP
final verified = await sms.verifyCode(
  VerifyCodeRequest(
    to: '0912345678',
    code: '123456',
  ),
);

sms.close();
