XenFi’s new SMS feature automatically recovers users who pay via mobile money but fail to connect. By triggering a delayed SMS with a voucher code, the system brings customers back online without manual intervention.

Even though XenFi automatically logs users in after a successful Mobile Money payment, this works smoothly on about 95% of devices. Most hotspot operators face the same friction: a customer pays via mobile money, the auto-login handshake fails, and the user walks away frustrated.
To the user, your network is "broken." To you, that’s a trust leak and a destroyed LTV (Lifetime Value). Technical glitches are inevitable; losing the customer shouldn't be. XenFi’s Automated SMS Recovery turns these technical failures into instant customer comebacks without manual intervention.
XenFi’s new SMS system introduces Delayed Login Reminders, a mechanism that detects failed auto-logins and intervenes without your involvement.
Instead of waiting for complaints, the system:
Detects inactivity after payment
Waits for a defined duration for example 2 minutes
Sends an SMS with a voucher code
Enables the user to connect manually
This is not messaging. It’s automated recovery.
Follow this flow exactly:
Log in to your XenFi dashboard
Click on the Menu
Tap the Settings dropdown icon
Select SMS
A popup window opens
Inside SMS Settings:
Choose “Delayed login reminder”
Set the duration (in minutes) before the SMS is sent
Each SMS sent costs 35 UGX per message
SMS will only will only send if you have SMS credit balance. If no SMS balance exists, the system pulls from your mobile money earnings on the dashboard. The system prioritizes continuity over hesitation. It will not stop sending recovery messages just because you didn’t preload SMS credits.
If you think this is just a notification feature, you’re underestimating it.
This feature:
Reduces churn, users don’t abandon failed sessions
Improves perceived reliability, issues are corrected instantly
Recovers lost revenue automaticall
Eliminates support dependency
More importantly, it changes customer psychology:
Users stop blaming your network and start trusting it, even when things fail.
Most hotspot owners focus on attracting new users. That’s inefficient. The smarter move is fixing the leaks in your current system.
XenFi’s SMS feature does exactly that:
It recovers failed sessions
Preserves trust
Automates intervention
Runs without supervision
You’re not just sending messages. You’re installing a silent system that turns failure into retention.
Smart billing, automation and management for hotspot providers and ISPs.
