How secure is SMS 2FA compared to authenticator apps?

While authenticator apps are considered slightly more resistant to phishing, SMS 2FA remains a highly effective and widely adopted security method because of its ease of use and accessibility. Many companies prefer two-factor SMS authentication to keep accounts safe without requiring extra apps or technical knowledge.

Can I integrate OTP via API into my platform?

Yes. Teliqon offers a developer-friendly API so you can embed OTP delivery into your platform quickly and monitor real-time performance. Our SMS authentication service makes it simple to add verification to logins, payments, and more.

Does OTP work internationally with Teliqon?

Absolutely. Teliqon’s global infrastructure supports two-factor SMS authentication across 150+ countries with optimized delivery routes for each carrier. We ensure 2FA SMS authentication works seamlessly for users, no matter where they are.

What if a user doesn’t receive the OTP immediately?

Teliqon uses fallback routes and retries to ensure successful delivery. If an OTP is delayed, users can request a new code or verify their number. Our 2-factor SMS authentication platform is built to minimize delays and maximize user trust.

What is OTP authentication and how does it work?

One-time passwords (OTPs) are unique codes sent to users to confirm their identity when logging in or performing sensitive actions. Unlike regular passwords, these codes expire quickly and can only be used once, making it harder for hackers to gain access. OTPs add an extra step that keeps accounts safer without making things complicated for users. Many companies send OTPs via email, but this can be slow and unreliable if users don’t check their inbox right away. With SMS authentication, the code arrives instantly on the user’s phone, ready to be entered within seconds. Let Teliqon help your businesses deliver these critical messages quickly and securely: your clients will enjoy a smoother and safer experience.

Why businesses still rely on SMS-based 2FA

Wide device compatibility

SMS works on every phone, from basic models to the latest smartphones, so every user can receive verification codes.

No need for app installs

There’s no need for customers to download or set up additional apps – a text message is all they need to complete secure actions quickly.

High user adoption  and simplicity

Text messaging is familiar and easy – more users can complete verification without confusion, drop-offs, or CS requests.

Works without internet access

SMS 2FA doesn’t depend on Wi-Fi or mobile data, so users can receive codes as long as they have a phone signal, even in low-connectivity areas.

Trust tried and reviewed experts

We were looking for a partner who truly understands what it means to scale fast without sacrificing quality. Teliqon became that partner. Their platform helped us streamline communication, boost team efficiency, and stay fully connected no matter where our people were. It’s rare to find a provider that’s both flexible and rock-solid reliable.

Emma Gallagher

CEO, ZephyraEco Dynamics, Clean Tech/Renewable Energy Solutions

With remote teams across multiple countries, we needed more than just a telecom service — we needed a solution that grows with us and protects what matters. Teliqon delivered exactly that. Their responsiveness, uptime, and clarity in communication are game changers for any company that values operational integrity.

Marius Novak

CEO, WorldTreeSolutions Solutions (Estonia)

Honestly, we plugged in Teliqon expecting just another comms layer. What we got was full-stack infra clarity: SIP trunking that doesn’t choke, DID routing that makes sense, and real QoS dashboards we didn’t have to build ourselves. Plus, their recovery flows are solid — failover kicked in before our internal monitors did.

Valentina Ricci

CTO, ProntoLingo Systems, Enterprise Networking / Telco Infrastructure

Teliqon gave us what most vendors promise but rarely deliver — actual stability under scale. Their infrastructure handles spikes like a champ, APIs are extensible, async-friendly, and log everything we care about. We wired it into our CI/CD to auto-provision comms for new pods — devs love it, ops sleep better. Win-win.

Louis Becker

CTO, Omevix AI (Germany)

As a marketer, you’re always balancing performance and cost. Teliqon gave us the perfect mix — powerful tools for SMS and voice, seamless campaign tracking, and insights that help us double down on what works. Our communication is sharper, faster, and finally fully measurable.

Iryna Kovalchuk

Marketing Lead, Neuvoria Commerce, E-commerce SaaS / Performance Marketing

Before Teliqon, tracking follow-ups and call results felt like chaos. Now we’ve got everything in one place (calls, SMS reminders, CRM integration) it just flows. My team spends less time switching tools and more time actually closing deals. Honestly, it's a new better chapter for our sales rhythm.

Marco Ruiz

Sales Lead, Omevix Health, Healthtech / B2C Wellness Services

We were missing way too many leads simply because we didn’t call fast enough, or lost them in the shuffle. Since switching to Teliqon, our response time is sharp, and the call analytics help us coach reps in real time. Plus, the mobile numbers give our team the freedom to work from wherever and still sound local.
