Detailed Review
Messente describes itself as business messaging that sends SMS, Viber and WhatsApp globally. The terms of service name Messente Communications OÜ at Sõle 14 in Tallinn as the contracting party.
Its customer stories come from lenders, logistics firms and software resellers, which fits the notification and verification traffic that dominates its volume.
One account across three channels
The omnichannel product sends through SMS, Viber and WhatsApp from the same integration, and the pricing page notes that the pay-as-you-go plan gives access to Viber, WhatsApp and RCS without a monthly fee.
That arrangement suits a team that needs a fallback: if a recipient is not reachable on a rich channel, the message can still go as SMS.
Verification as a product
Verigator is a separate service for one-time passwords and number lookup checks whether a phone number is valid before you send to it. They are the reason many customers arrive, and WhatsApp is often added later.
Pricing by region
The pricing page asks you to select a region and then shows per-destination rates, with pay-as-you-go at the entry and a quote for larger volumes.
Limitations to Consider
Messente is a sender, not a WhatsApp inbox: there is no team workspace for agents on the pages reviewed, so conversations need your own system or a tool such as Trengo. WhatsApp is one of several channels, and the pricing is region-based with a sales quote for bigger volumes. Data location is not stated on the pages reviewed.
Who Should Use Messente
Fintech, logistics and software companies that already send SMS verification and want WhatsApp from the same Estonian supplier.
