Who we are

Technology built for Lesotho.

DEX ONE TECH (PTY) LTD is a Lesotho-owned technology company that provides business messaging and USSD services. We run the platform that organisations use to send one-time passwords, alerts and campaigns, and to give their customers simple self-service menus that work on any phone.

Communication in Lesotho has its own realities. Most people live on their mobile phones, many use feature phones or have limited data, and businesses have to work across more than one network under the rules of the Lesotho Communications Authority. Offshore platforms rarely account for this. We do, because we are based here and we build every service around how Basotho businesses and their customers communicate.

Why DEX ONE TECH

Common challenges, local answers.

We start with the problems local businesses face every day, and we solve them with a partner based here.

01

Reaching every customer

Many customers use feature phones or have little data.

Our answer: SMS and USSD work on every handset, with no app or data bundle required.

02

Working across networks

Connecting to each mobile operator separately is slow and costly.

Our answer: one connection to us reaches customers on all major Lesotho networks.

03

Offshore providers

Foreign platforms bring foreign pricing, slow support and no local presence.

Our answer: pricing in Maloti, support in English and Sesotho, and people in Maseru.

04

Staying compliant

Consent, opt-outs and record-keeping are easy to get wrong.

Our answer: consent and opt-out handling and full records are built into every service.
