About Surge
We're building the easiest SMS API for developers.
In early 2024, Dennis Beatty wanted to add text messaging to a side project he was working on. Even though he had worked with SMS APIs professionally in the past, he was surprised by how bad they had gotten. The APIs were hard to use, the documentation was hard to navigate, and worst of all they made carrier registration a huge pain.
We built Surge to solve these problems. Our API is designed to be intuitive and easy to use, with clear documentation and examples. We've streamlined the carrier registration process so that you can get up and running in days, not weeks.
Mission
Our mission is to make telephony as simple as possible for developers. We believe that communication tools should be accessible to all developers, regardless of the size of their company.
Values
- Developer experience first: We build our products with developers in mind, focusing on clear documentation, intuitive APIs, and helpful support.
- Speed and efficiency: We value your time and work to make our processes as fast and efficient as possible.
- Transparency: We believe in clear, transparent pricing and communication.
- Reliability: We build our infrastructure to be reliable and scalable, so you can depend on us for your critical messaging needs.
