Authentication fallback

Voice OTP / ACS

Automated voice authentication fallback for regions and carriers where SMS verification is not reliable enough on its own.

Service overview

ACS is an automated calling service that links a stored authentication code to an outbound call, plays prerecorded multilingual voice prompts, and confirms whether the customer answered the call.

Why ACS matters

Fallback for weak SMS-auth markets

ACS is designed for destinations or carriers where SMS authentication is unavailable, restricted, or not reliable enough.

Multilingual recorded voice

Recorded voice scenarios can be configured in multiple languages to support broader international verification flows.

Higher verification success

ACS improves authentication success and reduces customer complaints when SMS receipt fails in some overseas markets.

Foreign-member signup support

ACS can be paired with international SMS OTP flows for foreign-member signup and other high-friction verification cases.

How ACS works

1
Authentication code is linked

The customer phone number is tied to the verification code stored in the calling workflow.

2
Automated call is placed

SureM triggers an outbound automated call and plays the appropriate prerecorded voice prompt.

3
Answer status is confirmed

The client side can verify whether the customer answered the call as part of the authentication workflow.

Reliability note

Because ACS runs on long-established telephone infrastructure, it provides a more stable fallback when SMS receipt is inconsistent.
