Who we are

Browser Based Nigeria LimitedBBN for short, RC 803010 — is a limited company based in Lagos, Nigeria. The registered office is Plot 12 Road 6, Lekki County Homes, Ikota Villa Estate, Lekki, Lagos, Nigeria. The US office is 10000 North Central Freeway, Suite 400, Dallas, TX 75231. The bbnsms.com domain was registered in June 2008 and the business has been operating online continuously since then.

That longevity is the first thing worth knowing about us. Telecom and verification services attract operators who appear, take prepayments and disappear. We have been reachable at the same address for 18 years, which is a different kind of promise: the company holding your wallet balance intends to still be here next year.

BBNSMS is the product we run now. What is live is live, what is not is labelled. You will not find invented customer counts, borrowed logos or badges we have not earned anywhere on this site.

Operating heritage

  1. June 2008

    bbnsms.com registered

    Browser Based Nigeria Limited put the domain online and has kept it ever since — the same company, the same name, the same city.

  2. 2008–present

    Nearly two decades online

    Internet businesses run from Lagos for long enough to see several generations of the web come and go. Longevity is the part of a track record that cannot be bought in a hurry.

  3. Today

    BBNSMS in production

    OTP activations, the prepaid wallet and dedicated US/CA numbers are live. eSIM and outbound calling are planned, and labelled as such.

What BBNSMS offers

Three products, one account, one wallet. Each is billing now, and the live rate card is published without a signup.

01

OTP activations

Temporary numbers for one-time password delivery, charged per order from your wallet. Every activation is quoted before you commit and settles against the ledger.

02

Prepaid wallet

One balance across every product, topped up by card through Stripe Checkout. The ledger records each credit and debit with the reason it happened.

03

US and Canada numbers

Dedicated local lines with inbound SMS, ordered and kept for as long as you need them. Search, confirm the first charge, and hold the number on the same wallet.

eSIM data plans and outbound calling are planned, not for sale. They will run on this same account, wallet and ledger, and this page will say so the day they ship.

How we handle your money and your data

Trust in a prepaid service comes down to four questions: who takes the card, where the balance lives, how the account is protected, and who answers when it goes wrong.

Payments handled by Stripe

Card top-ups run through Stripe's hosted checkout. Card numbers are entered on Stripe's page and never reach our servers; we store only the payment reference and the resulting wallet credit.

An append-only wallet ledger

Your balance is not a number we edit. It is the sum of an immutable ledger — the database itself refuses updates and deletes — so every charge, credit and refund can be replayed and audited line by line.

Credentials treated properly

Passwords are hashed with Argon2id, sessions ride on HttpOnly, Secure cookies, and the whole site is served over TLS. We ask for an email address and a password, and nothing we do not need.

Support you can actually reach

Write to [email protected] and a person at BBN reads it. When something is broken or still being built, we would rather tell you plainly than leave you guessing.

Every subprocessor we use, the region it processes in, how we handle an incident, and the compliance claims we can and cannot make are published in the Trust Center, with the Article 28 terms in the data processing agreement.
